The active leader in hits comes through

Rox announcers Jeff Kingery and Jack Corrigan were ready to start bragging about the Rox winning the series today with the score 2-0 over the Giants in the top of the 9th. The team had only gotten 2 hits at that point. Then Omar, AKA "the active leader in hits" doubled past Matt Holiday to start a two-run rally and a stunning come-from-behind victory, in which he also drove in the winning run.

The other Omar (Quintanilla) struck out to end the game.

Baseball Reference has their list led by Bonds, but Rox announcers were right in saying that Omar is the leader right now --

1. Barry Bonds* (43) 2935
2. Omar Vizquel# (41) 2607
3. Ken Griffey* (38) 2599
4.Gary Sheffield (39) 2541
5. Luis Gonzalez* (40) 2534
6. Ivan Rodriguez (36) 2533
7. Frank Thomas (40) 2441
8. Kenny Lofton* (41) 2428
9. Sammy Sosa (39) 2408
10. Derek Jeter (34) 2405
