3,000 hits is a long way away, but Twins’ Carlos Correa already in good company

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:10:14 GMT

When Twins shortstop Carlos Correa got his 1,000the career hit during a 9-3 victory over Kansas City on Tuesday, he reached the one-third mark on one of the most exclusive clubs in baseball.“He’s only 28 years old,” Twins manager Rocco Baldelli marveled after the game. “To already have 1,000 hits, that’s a pretty amazing accomplishment.”Yet, at this rate Correa would have to play more than 25 seasons to reach the standard mark for hitting excellence. Only 33 players have at least 3,000 major-league hits, and only three eligible for the Hall of Fame have not been elected to Cooperstown — Pete Rose, Alex Rodgriguez and Rafael Palmeiro.Still, Correa already is a member of an impressive, if less elite, class — players with at least 900 major-league games who have averaged more than a hit per game. Heading into Friday night’s game against Baltimore at Target Field, Correa had 1,000 hits in 965 games, a 1.036 average.There are only 26 active major leaguers who fit that bill — Correa is No...

Review: ‘Joy Ride’ is a glorious, raunchy, gross-out comedy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:10:14 GMT

By Jocelyn Noveck | Associated PressIf you’re like me, there comes a moment of truth in raunchy film comedies when you decide whether to fully join in the fun — or ride it out on the fence.It often comes in a key early comic scene. Can they pull it off? If so you’ll be putty in their hands for two hours, ready to chuckle along no matter how gross it gets (think of that bridal dress fitting in “Bridesmaids.”) If not, you’ll shuffle uncomfortably on the sidelines, feeling rather like a prude.In first-time director Adele Lim’s ebullient, chaotic, nothing’s-too-gross-if-it’s funny road comedy “Joy Ride,” that moment came for me when watching Ashley Park swallow a disgusting concoction in a drinking contest, pretending all’s fine as her insides erupt. Expert comic chops cannot be faked. Park had me from that guzzle (and cemented it later with her Gollum impression.)Yet the impressive thing about “Joy Ride,” a c...
