Hey, anyone notice the 42-year old Ichiro is hitting .417 (25-for-60) on the season?
Speaking of Ichiro, it's a shame he didn't start in MLB earlier. If he had started at age 20 or 21, he'd be pushing Pete Rose for the all-time hits record. In fact, if you combine his Japanese career with his MLB career, he needs just 19 hits to break Rose's hit mark.

I also wonder if Ichiro gets enough at bats this year to reach 3,000 career hits. He has 25 so far this year and needs 40 more. He also got his 500th career stolen base earlier this season.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Ichiro with 3 more hits Sunday to put his career total at 2994. He now has a .347 BA in 170 AB. Unless Mattingly decides to give Ichiro "some rest", he may get hit #3000 in the upcoming four game series in Philadelphia. After that, the Marlins have a 10 game home stand. I'm betting that Ichiro gets #3000 this weekend in Miami.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

I guess Ozuna sat yesterday so Ichiro could get closer to 3000. Not because he needed a "breather" after two post ASB games?"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."
