**Ichiro Suzuki, now a Yankee outfielder after years with the Seattle Mariners, has 3,999 hits in his combined major league career of Japan and the United States. Only Ty Cobb and Pete Rose stand above him at the 4,000 hit mark. Or if you want to get fancy, add Stan Musial and Hank Aaron, who hit the 4,000 mark combining their major and minor league records.
**Suzuki had a 10-year streak of 200plus hits,10 All Star nominations and a .320 career batting average. He now has 2,721 hits in his American career. He plans on playing two more years now that he is 39. He claims no one will debate his record once he hits 3,000 hits.
**But tonight could be the night Suzuki reaches the amazing 4,000 hit mark.
