Oh, he's Japanese? You don't say?

Rose did all his vs major league talent

Rose >

okay is that incredible?
cuz what ichiro has done still is.
never said he was better than rose.
btw. ichiro will be in the HOF in 2 different countries for professional baseball.
is rose even in 1?
fuck you, mr. technical.

It just seems like there is this argument being perpetuated that Ichiro's record is better, though it seems the impetus for this argument is based more on a dislike of Rose rather than actual merit for Ichiro's hits.

Sorry if I lumped you into this argument. I do recognize Ichiro as a truly impressive player; I just don't like it when folks herald him as the hits leader when Rose is the true major league hits leader, even if the MLB doesn't recognize him as such.

hes not. rose is.
and i dont think there was any argument about who is, i think someones just pointed out that combined hed have more hits.

my favorite is the "vs me" he had to write in to remind himself when to tank

was just gonna post about him.

its crazy hes been playing for 25 years..

but honestly to the people trying to say ichiro is the all time hit king now, if you're going to add ichiro's japan stats you must add pete rose minor league stats also

im not saying that. nor should he be considered that.
but its still a crazy accomplishment none the less.

it's nice to see him hitting like the old(young) ichiro again
