#OnThisDay in @chicagocubs history ▸ Cubs’ outfielder Ande “Hawk” Dawson becomes a member of the 300/300 club, with his 300th stolen base, joining Bobby Bonds and Willie Mays to become the third major leaguer to reach the milestone.

Dawson’s 4th-inning steal put him in scoring position to tie the game on Damon Berryhill’s RBI double.  Building on the momentum, the Cubs go on to defeat the @mets 4-3 at Shea Stadium.

In his ninth year on the BBWAA's ballot, Andre Dawson is the only player to receive 75 percent or more of the writers' votes (77.9) needed to be elected to the Hall of Fame. The former National League Rookie of the Year (1977 - Montreal) and Most Valuable Player (1987 - Chicago), who spent 21 seasons patrolling the outfield for the Expos, Cubs, Red Sox, and Marlins, is one of only three players, that includes Mays and Barry Bonds, to exceed 400 homers and 300 stolen bases during his major league career.
