Awesome
Does it the right way. Never in trouble, not 1 negative story I have ever heard about him. One of the best ever even if he never played in Japan.
Congrats Ichiro!

As a life long M's fan, great to see Ichiro get to 4,000.
Adding up MLB and minor league hits, don't forget about Jigger Statz: 737 MLB + 3,356 = 4,093 total. Andrew

I feel much better about comparing Ichiro to Jigger Statz than I do mentioning him with Tris Speaker and Stan Musial.

Ichiro 4000
I think Ichiro is an amazing player and a deserving HOFer. The player he reminds me of is Rod Carew, who was one of my favorite players that I saw play, along with Brett and Rose.
Hank Aaron played right field and I saw him on TV towards the end of his career so I'd have to say he's the best RF I've seen play.

I'd love to see him get 3,000 hits. He could do it. He's 278 shy.

The funny thing about Ichiro is he probably has as much natural power as the guys hitting 30-40 home runs a season now. His batting practice exploits are near legend. He hits one pitch after another into the seats without breaking a sweat.

Also, Ichiro has a CANNON of an arm (still). I wonder how many doubles he's "stolen" from players over the years.

He had 1278 hits in Japan, which puts him at 5,278 lifetime. Combine whatever leagues you want (minors, majors, Japan, Mexico, etc) and no other player in the history of the game comes close to that.

He played 1999 in Mexico He played 2000 in Korea. I could not find stats for those years. So I think it is safe to assume he does have 4000 professional hits or more. http://www.baseball-reference.com/mi...d=franco001jul

Pete Rose finished with 4,256 in his major league career, while Ty Cobb ended up with 4,189. Taking international play into consideration, Julio Franco amassed 4,229 hits in his 26-year professional career, spread between Major League Baseball (2,586 hits), Minor League Baseball (618), the Mexican League (316), Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball (286), the Dominican Winter League (267), and the Korean Baseball Organization (156). As far as I know, nobody else has reached 4,000 professional hits, no matter what league(s) they played in.

He does not have 4000 hits in major league baseball he has like 2700 hits and the rest where in japan so a third of his hits where in AAA basically. i'm not taking anything away from this land mark but he truly doesnt have 4000 hits in major league baseball.
