One would think that over 3,000 hits, ten gold glove awards, ten All-Star selections, three Silver Slugger awards, and an AL MVP award would win you automatic Hall of Fame status.

Former Major League Baseball all-star Ichiro Suzuki displayed his incredible at age 50 by ptching a complete game shutout against a girl’s high school team.

SEATTLE (AP) — Ichiro Suzuki’s otherworldly talents made an early impression on Dave Niehaus, the Hall of Fame voice of the Seattle Mariners.

Miami Marlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki notched his 3,000 Major League Baseball hit on Sunday.

Miami Marlins right fielder Ichiro Suzuki is pleased with his amazing Major League Baseball career, so pleased that he wants to keep playing until he’s 50.

Whether through a multiculturalist impulse to deem all cultures, including baseball ones, equal, a cynical gambit to generate clicks and comments, or just a zeal to recognize the amazing totality of Ichiro’s career, many sports writers portray the Miami Marlin outfielder as surpassing Rose. But people more fanatical about the game—fans—disagree. Just 20,037 of them showed up in San Diego for the supposedly historic event.

Ichiro Suzuki, a hit short of tying Pete Rose’s all-time record of 4,256 hits if one includes his statistics from Nippon Professional Baseball, prompted “Charlie Hustle” to remark “It sounds like, in Japan, they’re trying to make me the Hit Queen.”

Ichiro Suzuki boasts 2,935 MLB hits. Other hitters boast two hits off him.

Ichiro Suzuki of the Miami Marlins, who holds the all-time record for hits in a season with 262 in 2004, got two more, the second of which gave him 2,873 career hits, tying him Monday night with Babe Ruth on the all-time hit list.
