NEW YORK -- Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki homered off Yankees starter Roger Clemens on Monday to reach 200 hits for the seventh consecutive season, tying the AL record.


Suzuki singled in the first and homered on a 2-0 pitch to right-center in the third to give the Mariners a 2-1 lead. It was Suzuki's sixth homer of the year and extended his own major league record for consecutive 200-hit seasons to begin a career to seven.



The major league record for consecutive 200-hit seasons is eight by Willie Keeler (1894-01). Suzuki matched the AL mark held by Wade Boggs (1983-89).



Suzuki entered the day leading the majors in hits.



*Ichiro Suzuki is the eighth player in baseball history to collect 200 hits in seven or more seasons. The list:

Name No.
Pete Rose 10
Ty Cobb 9
Lou Gehrig 8
Paul Warier 8
Wade Boggs 7
Charlie Gehringer 7
Rogers Hornsby 7
Ichiro Suzuki 7

When it's all said and done Ichiro will have more 200 hit season than anyone in the history of the MLB unfortunately he'll never break Pete Rose's Record. He's definitely worth the money he is being paid and that's an understatement because everyone is overpaid lmao.

Record-setting 2004 season

Ichiro set a number of Major League records during the 2004 season:

* August 26: With a double off Kansas City Royals reliever Jeremy Affeldt, Ichiro became the first player in Major League history to reach 200 hits in each of his first four seasons.
* August 28: He became the first player in MLB history to have three 50-hit months in a single season.
* August 31: Ichiro finished August with 56 hits, the most since Jeff Heath's 58 in August 1938. [6] He also batted .463 and was named American League Player of the Month for the first time in his career.
* September 17: He broke the modern major-league record with his 199th single of the season in the seventh. Ichiro bettered the modern (post-1900) record of 198 set by Lloyd Waner of Pittsburgh in 1927.
* September 21: He broke the all-time major league record with his 207th single of the season. The record-breaking single came in the eighth inning and was Ichiro's fifth of the day. The record of 206 had been held by Wee Willie Keeler of the 1898 Baltimore Orioles.
* September 22: He broke Harry Heilmann's 1925 record with his 135th hit on the road. It was also arguably Ichiro's hottest streak of the season, as he collected nine hits over two games, 11 hits over three games (both personal season highs), and 13 hits over a four-game span (tying his personal season high).
* October 1: Ichiro collected his 258th and 259th hits, breaking the record set by George Sisler with the St. Louis Browns in 1920. His 257th hit also set the Major League record for most hits over any four-year span, with 919.
* October 3: Ichiro completed the 2004 season with 262 hits, 225 singles, and an MLB-leading .372 batting average. He also finished with 145 hits on the road to break Heilmann's 79-year-old record of 134. He led the majors with 57 infield hits.[7] Ichiro's 704 at bats fell one short of Willie Wilson's record of 705.

Whats so great about him is how he brings a pureness to the game. You dont have to worry if he is cheating the game or not playing to his potential. He is one of those dudes that I'll watch his team play even if he isnt playing a team I like.
