Tyler Deric is the 1,500th Player in MLS History

Starting in place of Pat Onstad for an eliminated Houston Dynamo team, tonight he became the 1,500th player in league history, in all competitions.

It's nice to see an academy player get the nod. He follows in the footsteps of fellow milestone players Evan Whitfield in 2000 (#500) and Paul Dalglish in 2006 (#1,000).

    Am I missing something? Shouldn't Juan Agudelo be somewhere on this list? Or did he play some time before?

    He debuted a while ago in the Open Cup qualifiers.

    who gets credit for #1? is there a 22-way tie between the dc and sj players? does it go to the player listed first on the roster of the home team? does it go to the player who kicked off?

    They were all on the field at the same time when the first whistle blew, so I'd say it's a 22 way tie.
