MLB | 3000 hits 

The same thing: Dominate pitchers like he did everywhere he played. To me he broke Pete Rose's record.

I agree

Brian Faltar past Pete rose

Brian Faltar BREAK EVERY RECORD

The majors is better than Japan, and yet Ichiro was MVP in his first season in the majors. I don't think he would have had much trouble racking up the hits before 2001 against major league pitching.

Incredible player. Maybe the best of all time

No that beautiful babe is

+Danny1 pa Very debatable

It's because he's a fucking monster

Baseball42 2nd in home runs idiot Barry Bonds is 1st

Thanks Sherlock

Yeah imagine that. A video made a couple of years ago doesn't include current news!

PGOLDEN88 it was outdated like a year ago with beltre dumbass

PGOLDEN88 it was already outdated it didn’t have Beltre

I was there in rf stands

EXACTLY, he had only 2 world series by 1984 and 1998, but both losers.

SD season ticket holder from 1997-2002. Anthony Keith Gwynn was amazing. He got hits number 2000 and 3000 on May 6th, his mother's birthday. She ran out onto the field after 3000 in Montreal.

In that case the true home run king is Saduharu Oh (868), and not Barry Bonds or Henry Aaron.

nrkgalt fr the logic isn’t evenly applied to all circumstances, peter rose is the hit king and that’s just the truth

@@nrkgalt well it’s much easier to hit homers in Japan with the shorter fences but a hit is still a hit

just no, ichiro aint the best, it aint close my guy

@@samthibert6527 your entitled to your opinion, 7 others agree

More like 4,500 range but still would pass Pete rose

Thanks so much R Pryce! Keep watching!

The only thing worse than a dumb, hacky, racist joke is some idiot explaining it.

Probably not!

If Ichiro had played his full career in the mlb he probably would

Agreed. Ichiro has over FIVE THOUSAND hits between MLB and Japan.

In my eyes, Ichiro broke that record. He has hit more than 4256 in professional baseball. When he arrived at the mlb in 2001 with 27 years of age, he made an impact from the get go. He was rookie of the year, MVP and an allstar. He went over the 240 hits in his rookie season. Who else has done that? And went onto hitting for 200+ hits for 10 seasons straight, which is a record.. Remember guys, this guy never stepped on USA soil, he is from a country that baseball isn't much of a tradition like in the US, so being that good from the start is unreal and incredible. Maybe some will state that Japanese baseball isn't that great nor on par with the level shown by MLB's pitchers, but Ichiro was way too good in his first 10 years in the major leagues, why wouldn't he dominate them while being younger? That argument destroys itself. Ichiro arriving at 1993 or onwards to the MLB wouldn't have changed anything, because the same thing would have happened anyways (without injury of course). Ichiro dominated pitchers from 2001 till 2011. Why wouldn't he dominate them earlier in the 90s as well??

+samy29987 yeah he is the greatest professional baseball player ever, just not the greatest MLB player ever

My goodness he is fast for a 43 year old

Just wonder how many hits he would've had by now if he played all his life in MLB. They don't count is hits that he got in Japan. If you include them then he has 4333 hits.

Aditya Verma We'll see about it. I agree with them not counting them though.

Yeah, but he had just ONE Stolen Base in 2017, after double digits every other year. He's slowing down, but still wants to play. Amazing he got to 3000 Hits in America.

Ruben Duke ichiro is moving to a front office position for the remainder of the year. He won't play for the rest of the year, but he could come back for next year. #pray🙏

Miggy only player in the modern era to win a triple crown one of the greatest hitters ever for sure

So is Mays

Very funny, he was actually saluting his mom

I don't think in his day there was a better arm in baseball. He is the first I ever saw throw from the warning track in right field and throw a runner out at third.

Not anymore :( Hopefully he goes back and play in Japan for one last hurrah

That’s what Biggio’s trademark was. He was a doubles hitter and wanted a double. But Willy T, former teammate, failed to read the script.

Or getting picked off first base, like George Brett was.

Hall of Fame by The Script

He and I were born on the same day, he was just 20 years earlier

Duh..

Charlie Walter no shit

Vaya con Dios, Roberto
