Ichiro becomes the first player to reach 200 hits in first 4 seasons

[wilheim]

Suzuki became the first player to reach 200 hits in each of his first four major league seasons when he homered Thursday night in the Seattle Mariners' 7-3 loss to the visiting Kansas City Royals. After playing nine seasons in Japan, Suzuki came to Seattle in 2001 and finished with 242 hits the most in the majors since 1930. He had 208 hits in 2002 and 212 last season. Now he has a shot to break the big league record of 257 set by George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns in 1920. The Mariners have 36 games remaining.

Suzuki went 3-for-6 in his 1,000th major league game. He extended his hitting streak to 17 games with an infield single in the first.

Hmm. Wouldnt it kind of piss you off as a pitcher the way he points the bat towards the outfield all the time?

Ichiro has more hits than Ty Cobb in his first 1000 games... wow.

 

[Coaster]

Greatest pure hitter in the game.

That starts another topic...........
Pure hitter?? Rod Carew or Tony Gwynn of the modern era. Itchy Hole is definately in the group. He played half his career in Japan. He should be #1.
Not HR, RBI etc....just hit the ball. These 3 are great.

Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki singled in the seventh to extend his hitting streak to 21 games -- three shy of the Mariners' franchise record set by Joey Cora in 1997.

Dont look now, but Kevin Youkalis (knock on wood) has a hit streak going too.

"Ichiro becomes the first player to reach 200 hits in first 4 seasons of MLB."

I'm an Ichiro fan but I believe this is how the title should read. Ichiro played 9 years in Japan before playing in MLB.

He could be an interesting HOF debate in the future depending on how his career plays out.

I think he may also be a Free Agent after this year as well, that should be very interesting as well.

You're the gayest homer ever. Who gives a fuck about Kevin fucking Youkalis in an Ichiro thread, honestly. Plus that guy looks like he's taking it up the ass in the batters box with that stance everytime. Is it possible for you to contribute one thing to the forums which isn't Red Sox related, jesus christ.

End rant.

i guess he shouldn't be penalized for short term service , but rewarded for quality of service...he definitely needs to play for a winnnerr....not seattle....baseball needs him in a big market like MOSS bein In New england ...however, No Big Market Team or contender Really NEEds A Lead off Man Vs. a startin Pitcher...we've talked About This before,....anyway , Let Me give out ONe more Japanese Little League Rant on This Guy ...

I'm thinking I don't want to see the replay it was probably so ugly runnin. Prolly looked like fucking Elton John trying so hard, sprinting from a hoard of horny supermodels. Regular caucasion Amaechi with-a-bat you got there in Boston.
