Regarding Ichiro's propensity for hitting singles instead of doubles and triples.

In Little League his coach probably repeated the mantra that "a walk is as good as a hit" over and over.

Ichiro had a learning disability and heard "a hit is as good a walk" over and over.
So he was just following instructions.

Default Rose

As the NY Times put it last year, 4256 hits and a big error.

As for Ichiro, I had not realized he never played in a WS. His teams only made the playoffs twice.

Rose deserves more criticism than "a big error" in my opinion. He extended his career in search for the hits record at the expense of his team. Plus he cheated (used corked bats) to get there.
