Dang, he played 1200 games in Japan then 18 years in MLB, including 3000+ MLB hits?  :shocking:

Also I didn't realize he was a 10-time gold glover.

Some kunt will not vote him in first ballot, because kunt words.

Great throw, even if it was on a little league sized field 

That's not a great throw.  A great throw would have hit the shortstop and one-hopped to third if it wasn't cut off.  A ball that sails all of the way to a base takes away that option and introduces the risk of it sailing over the glove of the receiver.

Not when you hit him right in the chest 99/100 times

Sorry but I disagree.  At the risk of going Al Bundy, I played outfield on an 18U all star team, and for the athletic powerhouse that is MIT.  The proper throw is always a one-hopper.  It gets there as fast if not faster, is easier to catch, opens up the cutoff option, and gives flexibility if the ball sails a bit.

This is known.

Holiday Inn Express.  If you are going to troll me, at least get the reference right.  :P

Ichiro announced his retirement today...... A total class act and a sure fire 1st ballot HOF'er. :thumbsup:

Ichiro's all time hit total (including Japan) - 4367..... Pete Rose - 4256.

If we count Ichiro's Japan stats, why not Rose's minor league stats? 427 hits put him back on top.

Anyone who doesn't vote him first ballot should be banned.

Although I said the same thing about Ken Griffey Jr, and I'm sure those @ssholes are still voting :dunno:

Nope...  The minor leagues are not the top league, like MLB and Japan...

Rose has the most hits in MLB, Ichiro has the most hits at the top baseball professional level...

First ballot hof for sure but let’s stop this “including Japan hits” stuff. Let’s go ahead and count his little league and backyard with his friends hits while we’re at it too.

Neither counts toward their MLB hit total.  Thinking otherwise is edjr level stupid.
