3000
triple, 2 feet from a hr lol

It's too bad he didn't come over 7 years earlier.

This thread could be for 4k hits.

Imagine if he played in Coors; he'd contend for the coveted .400.

During 2000-2009 Ichiro averaged :

158 games
225 hits
108 runs
38 stolen bases
.338 batting average

I think he should be a first ballot HoFer easily but who knows with how stingy the Hall is.

He will definitely be a first ballot HoFer. No question.

Sad part is he won't be a unanimous one.

Too many stubborn voters.

only player to average 200 hits per season. needs to reitre with that record intact.

Technically he didn't average that per season...

At least not anymore.

looks like a miscounted his seasons T_T

still 3k hits in 16 seasons is impressive considering he didn't start until age 27

Yeah its still very impressive.

During his prime he averaged way over 200 hits a season. Most players would be happy averaging 180 hits a season lol.
