Pete Rose has the most professional hits, 4256 + 427 = 4683
Ty Cobb is next, 4191 + 211 = 4402
Aaron, 3771 + 324 = 4095
Those three were almost predictable.
4th place is in part due to those nice long PCL seasons, but a fella still had to be able to hit. Jigger Statz 737 + 3356 = 4093
Mr. Musial is 5th, 3630 + 371 = 4001
Speaker and Beckley, two T206 guys, each have 3906, they're tied for 6th
11th is Spencer Harris. 94 + 3617 = 3711
15th, Harry Strohm 0 + 3486 = 3486
17th, Ed Hock, 1 + 3474 = 3475
18th, Willie Mays, 3283 + 179 = 3462.
I think Ichiro has a shot at 3000 major league hits, but not a lock on it. He might get to 4000 professional hits. And I see no way he gets to 4000 major league hits.
