elementary number theory - How often does pi contain a sequence of digits x at decimal place x?

Today, I came across an interesting bit of trivia. The decimal expansion of π contains the sequence of digits 79873884 starting at decimal place 79873884.



This is not unique, since another (perhaps trivial) example would be 1 at decimal place 1. But I wonder if there are more of these occurences.



Can anything be said about the frequency of these sequences? Are there infinitely many?
