Ichiro Suzuki broke an 84 year old record last night against the Texas Rangers.

He broke the single season hits record set by George Sisler in 1920. Sisler hit 257. Ichiro now has 259. On top of that, 222 of his hits are singles which is also a record.

That is an unbelieveable accomplishment.

He has a .373 batting average

I don't think anybody's come close to .400 since George Brett when he hit .390 a while ago.

He's the best leadoff hitter in baseball since Rickey Henderson.
