Question: When was the American Major League Baseball (MLB) outfielder died who became the 3,000 hit club's fourth member in 1921?
Context: In Major League Baseball (MLB), the 3,000 strikeout club is the group of pitchers who have struck out 3,000 or more batters in their careers.  Walter Johnson was the first to reach 3,000, doing so in 1923, and was the only pitcher at this milestone for 50 years until Bob Gibson recorded his 3,000th strikeout in 1974.  In total, 16 pitchers have reached 3,000 strikeouts with John Smoltz, the most recent club member, joining in 2008.  Steve Carlton and Randy Johnson are the only left-handed pitchers in this group.  Randy Johnson was the quickest pitcher to 3,000 strikeouts, taking fewer games pitched or innings pitched than any other pitcher.  César Gerónimo is the only player struck out by two different pitchers for their 3,000th strikeout, first by Gibson in 1974 and then Nolan Ryan in 1980.  The Chicago Cubs are one of two franchises to see multiple pitchers record their 3,000th strikeout on their roster, first Ferguson Jenkins in 1982 and then Greg Maddux in 2005.  The Minnesota Twins also had two pitchers reach the milestone with their team – Walter Johnson joined the club while the franchise was called the Washington Senators, then Bert Blyleven joined in 1986 with the team in Minnesota.  Ten 3,000 strikeout pitchers are also members of the 300 win club.  Seven pitchers from this club were named amongst the one hundred greatest players in MLB history as part of the All-Century Team, four of whom were eventually voted as starters for the team by fan vote. Tyrus Raymond Cobb (December 18, 1886 – July 17, 1961), nicknamed The Georgia Peach, was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) outfielder.  He was born in rural Narrows, Georgia.  Cobb spent 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers, the last six as the team's player-manager, and finished his career with the Philadelphia Athletics.  In 1936 Cobb received the most votes of any player on the inaugural Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, receiving 222 out of a possible 226 votes (98.2%); no other player received a higher percentage of votes until Tom Seaver in 1992.  In 1999, editors at the "Sporting News" ranked Ty Cobb 3rd on their list of "Baseball's 100 Greatest Players". Ryan Joseph Sweeney (born February 20, 1985) is an American Major League Baseball outfielder who is currently a free agent.  He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Chicago White Sox, Oakland Athletics, Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs. Ichiro Suzuki (鈴木 一朗 , Suzuki Ichirō , born October 22, 1973) , often referred to mononymously as Ichiro (イチロー , Ichirō ) , is a Japanese professional baseball outfielder for the Miami Marlins of Major League Baseball (MLB).  Some regard him to be the best hitter of the modern era.  With 26 seasons combined in top-level professional leagues, he has spent the bulk of his career with two teams: nine seasons with the Orix Blue Wave of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) in Japan, where he began his career, and 12 with the Seattle Mariners of MLB in the United States.  After playing for the Mariners, he played two and a half seasons in MLB with the New York Yankees before signing with his current club, the Marlins.  Ichiro has established a number of batting records, including MLB's single-season record for hits with 262.  He achieved 10 consecutive 200-hit seasons, the longest streak by any player in history.  Between his major league career in both Japan and the United States, Ichiro has the most hits by any player in top-tier professional leagues.  He also has recorded the most hits of any foreign-born player in MLB. Carl Michael Yastrzemski ( ; nicknamed "Yaz"; born August 22, 1939) is an American former Major League Baseball player.  He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989.  Yastrzemski played his entire 23-year baseball career with the Boston Red Sox (1961–1983).  He was primarily a left fielder, but also played 33 games as a third baseman and mostly was a first baseman and designated hitter later in his career.  Yastrzemski is an 18-time All-Star, the possessor of seven Gold Gloves, a member of the 3,000 hit club, and the first American League player in that club to also accumulate over 400 home runs.  He is second on the all-time list for games played, and third for total at-bats.  He is the Red Sox' all-time leader in career RBIs, runs, hits, singles, doubles, total bases, and games played, and is third on the team's list for home runs behind Ted Williams and David Ortiz. In Major League Baseball (MLB), the 3,000 hit club is the group of batters who have collected 3,000 or more regular-season hits in their careers.  Cap Anson was the first to join the club on July 18, 1897, although his precise career hit total is unclear.  Two players—Nap Lajoie and Honus Wagner—reached 3,000 hits during the 1914 season.  Ty Cobb became the club's fourth member in 1921 and became the first player in MLB history to reach 4,000 hits in 1927; he ultimately finished his career with more than 4,100.  Pete Rose became the second member of the 4,000 hit club on April 13, 1984 while playing for the Montreal Expos.  Cobb, also the major leagues' all-time career batting average leader, remained the MLB hit leader until September 11, 1985, when Rose collected his 4,192nd hit.  Rose, the current record holder, finished his career with 4,256 hits.  Roberto Clemente's career ended with precisely 3,000 hits, reaching the mark in the last at bat of his career on September 30, 1972. Edward Trowbridge Collins Sr. (May 2, 1887 – March 25, 1951), nicknamed "Cocky", was an American professional baseball player, manager and executive.  He played as a second baseman in Major League Baseball from 1906 to 1930 for the Philadelphia Athletics and Chicago White Sox.  A graduate of Columbia University, Collins holds major league career records in several categories and is among the top few players in several other categories.  In 1925, Collins became just the sixth person to join the 3,000 hit club – and the last for the next 17 seasons. Duff Gordon "Sir Richard" Cooley (March 29, 1873August 9, 1937) was a professional baseball player whose career spanned 17 seasons, 13 of which were spent in Major League Baseball (MLB).  Cooley, an outfielder and first baseman, had a career batting average of .294 in 1,317 games played.  He compiled 849 runs, 1,579 hits, 180 doubles, 102 triples, 26 home runs, and 557 runs batted in (RBI).  In Major League history, he is tied in 148th place for most all-time triples and, his 224 career stolen bases, place him equal 279th on the all-time list.  Cooley made his Major League debut at the age of 20, and spent the majority of his career there, but he also appeared in minor league baseball.  After breaking his leg with the Tigers in 1905, he was replaced with future Hall of Fame outfielder Ty Cobb.  Cooley, nicknamed "Sir Richard" due to his aristocratic manner, was listed as standing 5 ft and weighing 158 lb . Christopher Brandon Young (born September 5, 1983) is an American professional baseball outfielder for the Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB).  He previously played in MLB for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Oakland Athletics, New York Mets and New York Yankees.  In 2007, he became the first rookie in Major League history to hit 30 home runs and steal 25 bases.  While primarily a center fielder earlier in his career, Young has since transitioned to a fourth outfielder role. Rafael Palmeiro Corrales (born September 24, 1964) is a retired Cuban American Major League Baseball first baseman and left fielder.  Palmeiro was an All-American at Mississippi State University before being drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 1985.  He played for the Cubs (1986–1988), Texas Rangers (1989–1993, 1999–2003), and the Baltimore Orioles (1994–1998, 2004–2005).  He was named to the MLB All-Star Team four times, and won the Gold Glove three times.  He is a member of the 500 home run club and the 3,000 hit club and is one of only five players in history to be a member of both.
