Not to mention this great Bastion of Baseball like Ichiro Suzuki, the athlete who at 45 years old hung up his booties, but leaving the flag of his country very high, established several records that will surely be useful for future Japanese generations who participate in the best silent baseball.
In 2001 the year his debut gave 242 hits, 34 doubles, this being the highest amount in his career, he scored the great amount of 127 races also his highest number in all seasons, being the MVP of the season.
He started 9 times in 10 star games. Although if you add the 7 occasions that participated in the Japanese league would be a total of 17 participations in All Star.
With his 3,089 he is ranked 17th with the most hits in the history of MLB. But that number would increase if you add the 1,233 he made in his country, this would be a total of 4,322. 10 Seasons hitting 200 or more hits, is the only one that has this constant mark among hitters.
Again we have the number 10, this is the amount of gold gloves Ichiro earned during his stay in the big leagues, in his country he managed to keep 7. 2 batting titles have in his record, although they were only 2, this is not a title not easy to get. In his country he achieved the amount 7 titles.
Ichiro has the most hits in a season with 262 a very difficult number to break, that number will remain in history for a long time. Finally, seeing all their numbers and their records, I am sure that the doors are open to the immortality of Cooperstown. It would be the first Asian player to get it.
Ichiro Suzuki is the star of Japan.
He's like the Ronaldo of football. I hope they have a Messi, someone competing with him, too.
