Ichiro, the forgotten superstar playing for the sunken Mariners, tied an impressive record yesterday. He has now rapped out at least 200 hits for the 8th consecutive year, tying Wee Willie Keeler for the top spot. And he started this streak during his “rookie year”. If he’s healthy, probably a dead cinch to break the recod next season. We’re looking at a Hall of Fame career … but not many have noticed.

Ichiro’s accomplishment is amazing when you consider the guys who have NOT been able to do this – Carew, Brett, Yount, Rose, etc.
