What players in MLB have over 3000 hits over 300 batting average and over 500 home runs?

Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Stan Musial, & George BrettHang Aaron: is best known as the all-time home run king, but the slugging right fielder was a consistent .300 hitter throughout his 23-year major league career. Aaron's 3,000th hit (a single) came in the second game of a doubleheader against the Reds, May 17, 1970. Later in the historic game, Hammerin' Hank blasted his 570th career home run. At the time, only two players had hit more home runs—Babe Ruth and the next member of the 3,000-Hit Club: Willie Mays.Willie Mays became the 10th member of the 3,000-Hit Club by stroking a single off Expos pitcher Mike Wegener, July 18, 1970. Mays was the first member of the Club to garner the historic safety on the West Coast and the landmark hit came just two months after fellow slugger Hank Aaron had joined the Club. The next member of the 3,000-Hit Club was Willie Mays' former teammate on the Santurce Club of the Puerto Rican Winter League back in 1954-1955! His name: Roberto Clemente.Stan Musial is the only member of the 3,000-Hit Club to reach the mark with a pinch hit. On May 13, 1958, with Musial at hit #2,999, the Cardinals decided to sit "The Man" from the final game of a series in Chicago so that he could make history at Busch Stadium (formerly Sportsman's Park). But with the Cards trailing 3-1 in the sixth, St. Louis manager Fred Hutchinson opted to bat Musial for weak-hitting Redbird pitcher Sam Jones. Musial came through with a double to left, sparking a rally that would push the Cardinals to victory. The 37-year-old Musial finished the 1958 season with a .337 batting average—third best in the National League and "sandwiched" between the next two members of the Club: Willie Mays (.347) and Hank Aaron (.326).George Brett joined the 3,000-Hit Club with a single on September 30, 1992, the 20th anniversary of Roberto Clemente's 3,000th and final big league hit. Brett's big hit came in the seventh inning of a stellar 4-for-5 game in Anaheim. George Brett, Willie Mays, and Hank Aaron are three of the four players in major league baseball history to have collected at least 3,000 hits, 300 home runs, and 200 stolen bases. The other big leaguer to reach such lofty numbers was the next member of the 3,000-Hit Club: Dave Winfield.
