Quite the milestone. And on top of it, he probably didn't have to worry about trying to match the pace of the singer, either.
When it's your 2,400th consecutive game, you play AND lead the 7th inning stretch. Congrats, @GaryPressy!https://t.co/09UTNn1xpS

Writer's Note: The daily selections of the three Heroes and three Goats are based solely on the top three and bottom three WPA scores for the game. The selections are not based on my subjective opinion.
The Ramirez Catalyst of Game 105: With runners on second and third and two out in the bottom of the first, Addison Russell drives a 2-2 fastball just off of the end of the glove of Derek Dietrich and into right field for a two-run single to give the Cubs an early 2-0 lead. WPA impact: +.167.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Kyle Hendricks (.318). Only 28 games after setting a career high in pitches thrown at 117, he breaks it again by throwing 123 in this one. And the bullpen once again has a giant "Thank You" card on its way to him for his efforts.
- Hero - Anthony Rizzo (.133). It's been eight years since a player had a stat line like Rizzo's in this game; you have to go back to August 25, 2008 to find the last time that a player -- in this case, Jimmy Rollins -- reached base five times in five plate appearances with a single, double, triple, walk, and hit by pitch.
- Sidekick - Addison Russell (.122). His Catalyst of the night was just enough to hold on for third place.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Javier Baez (-.138). Left a ton of runners on the bases in this game, but also made a couple of very slick plays with the glove. And I still think that he has the quickest tag in the game.
- Goat - Kris Bryant (-.126). The lone 0-for-5 of the night, including a bat-splintering 5-4-3 with two on in the second.
- Kid - Jason Heyward (-.008). I'll take a 2-for-4 Goat out of Heyward every game that I can get it. These things happen when you only have 10 players that play in the game.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 105: Rizzo closes to within one-half of a point to the lead on the charts while Hendricks continues his own push toward the top.
