Ichiro Suzuki, Japan and Baseball Hall of Fame

Ichiro is about to get his Hall of Fame moment. For Japan, he's more than just a baseball star

Ichiro will go into the Hall of Fame as professional baseball’s all-time leader in hits with 4,367 (3,089 in MLB and 1,278 in Japan) — more even than Pete Rose's 4,256. He broke George Sisler’s single-season hits mark of 257 in 2004. The new mark is 262.
