Ichiro: Hit Man



Ichiro finally broke George Sisler's 84 year old record for the Most hits in a single season. He picked up three hits against Texas to do it. ESPN kept breaking in to the A's vs. Angels game to show his every at bat. It did not take too long as he recorded hits in each of his first two at bats to tie and then break the record. I can now take the hit tracker off of my side bar which was becoming a nuisance. Congrats to Ichiro, the only player who is cool enough to wear his first name on the back of jersey.

"Through my career, I think this is the best moment," Suzuki said through an interpreter. "I can't really put it into words."
