After the game, Albies made a heartfelt post to Instagram.
He wrote: “9 years ago today, I got to live out my dream. August 1, 2017 changed my life forever. I remember being a little kid in Curaçao dreaming about days like this. To be here now celebrating 1,200 hits and 100 stolen bases… God is so good. This game has given me so much, but it also asks a lot from you. There have been a lot of ups and downs, but I just keep showing up, keep working, and keep trusting God. That’s all I know. I’m thankful I get to do what I love every single day. Thank you to everyone who’s been with me through it all. Thank you for believing in me. Let’s keep going. ❤️🙏”
