Just playing 6.5 years in MLB, he's at 1,479 !
I think Ichiro will play past age 40, he's already boasted that he will pitch after he 'retires' from being a regular...at his body weight, he should be durable enough to play at near the same level til age 40...like a Paul Molitor, he could still be going strong very late in his career.
3,000 hits- very possible! Had he played his entire career over here he would have had a great chance at catching Rose.
