hail!

ichiro thanks for all the hits, a huh huh huhhuhuh ahuh ahuhuhuh

well your playing tonite! goodluck, 4 or 5 hits please

3 hits aint bad son, your well on yer way to another 200 hits season!

Ichiro is an incredible talent. He plays a premium defensive position very well, plus he's one of the top hitters in baseball.

Plus he's just damn funny. His quotes always make me laugh.

this is true! a throwback to ty cobb

More of a Wee Willie Keeler, I think.

Keeler, incidentally, held the record for most singles in one season (206 in 1898) until Ichiro broke that in 2004 (225 singles). Also, Keeler had 8 consecutive 200 hit seasons, also the major-league record. Ichiro has 6 straight to start his career (should make it 7 sometime in early September).

Though, your comparison is quite good. The American League record for most 200 hit seasons (consecutive or not) is 9, held by Ty Cobb (Pete Rose holds the major league record with 10).

i have a feeling we are going to be very good friends!

whos your favorite ballplayer?
do you collect sportscards?

My favourite current ballplayer has to be Ichiro, though all-time he gets some competition from Rickey Henderson.

I do not collect cards. I do have a tendency to memorise a lot of stats, though. I don't mean to - it just works out that way. And if I ever don't have a stat handy I can always visit baseball-reference.com or baseballprospectus.com.

wow rickeys body is amazing. at his age, i wish i had his. i use to have his 1980 topps rookie but along with my dan marino rookie it freaking disapeard. not bad stats either,.

Most stolen bases in a career (1,406)
Most times caught stealing in a career (335)
Most runs scored in a career (2,295)
Most consecutive seasons with at least one home run (25)
Most consecutive seasons with at least one stolen base (25)
Most consecutive seasons with at least 20 stolen bases (23)
Most consecutive seasons with at least 40 stolen bases (14)
Most postseason stolen bases (33)
Most games led off with a home run (81)
Most unintentional walks (2129)


great ballplayer.

3 more hits=165

Rickey also just missed hitting 300 HR in his career (297), plus he did hold the record for most walks drawn in a career when he stopped playing, but that record has since been broken by Barry Bonds.

Ichiro had a great series in Baltimore. He's so fun to watch.

i know. last i heard of him he was still playing dude loves baseball. cool. he should try to get his 300 homer

ichiro almost always does well in baltimore, i totally agree he is super fun to watch, sometimes when he goes through his routine when hes up to bat i get goosebumps and say this "ichiro" like a japenese man. its silly i know and a little embaressing but oh well.

another win, another hit. im not really a mariners fan but im really wanting them to win the wild card

ichiro needs to make an apperance in atleast one world series

But you can't compare them.
Ichiro gets at least 100 extra
at bats a year.

cal stop being ghey. when ichiro retires you will be able to compair him with those great players ok?
