So in addition to Ichiro and Sisler, 3 of the 5 other players to amass 250 hits in one season have been named: Bill Terry, Rogers Hornsby and Al Simmons.

Two more players remain.

Clue #1: George Sisler helped usher in the live-ball era by gathering 257 hits in 1920. All of the other players to compile 250 hits in a season besides Ichiro did it within 10 years after Sisler.

That's odd, given the 8 extra games...

We’ll that hint kills my next guess which was going to be Ed Delehanty. I would have bet on one 19th Century guy among them. Like Peter I’m giving up and gonna play Google

There were only 6 different 19th century players to amass at least 225 hits in a season and Ed Delahanty is one of them (238 in 1899).
The others are Tip O'Neil (225 in 1887), Billy Hamilton (225 in 1894), Jesse Burkett (225 in 1895), the aforementioned Duffy (237 in 1894) and Keeler (239 in 1897), and Jesse Burkett again (240 in 1896).

Great guesses, but Paul Waner topped out at 237 hits in his sophomore effort in 1927. Frisch's peak was 223 hits in 1923.

Clue #2: One of the two players we haven't named that had 250 hits in a season won the triple crown. (We have already named Hornsby, Terry and Simmons)
