He’s a way-above-average hitter, batting .335 lifetime in the Majors and also had 10 consecutive 200+ hits seasons (First in mlb). I don’t get how he can stand playing with the 50-60 win Mariners. He should get traded to another team, where he can be much better.
Ichiro Suzuki of the Seattle Mariners joined Hall of Famers Wee Willie Keeler (1894-1901) and Wade Boggs (1983-89) as the only players in Major League history to string together seven straight 200-hit seasons. Ichiro is the only player to accomplish the feat in his first seven Major League seasons.
In 2004, Ichiro established all-time ML single-season hit record with 262 hits. Ichiro already collected six straight Gold Glove, was named to seventh consecutive All-Star Game.
He is a candidate to be a future hall of famer. The problem may be his age, 34 next month, because of 9 year work in Japan’s league. So, what do you think Ichiro has to achieve in his rest of career to become a hall of famer?
There were a few before him, and plenty have arrived since he joined the Mariners, but Ichiro Suzuki remains the most successful Japanese-born player in MLB history. Now Ichiro is more than just a Japanese ball player, rather he is the first Major League Baseball player in history to record 10 consecutive seasons with 200 or more hits. To honor this history-making achievement BigTimeBats is pleased to release this one of a kind Mariner’s Logo Baseball and Display Case etched with the hitting records of Ichiro as a member of the Seattle Mariners. This Limited Edition collectible commemorates this rare accomplishment and makes a fitting addition to any Mariners fan’s or baseball fan’s memorabilia collection.
