While playing for Montreal, Gregg Jefferies crossed home plate for the 1,000th run of his DBL career, reaching a milestone that underscores one of the most productive leadoff and table-setting careers in league history.
From the moment he arrived as a teenager, Jefferies was a catalyst at the top of the lineup—combining high-contact hitting, speed, and an advanced approach well beyond his years.
