Miami Marlins Ichiro Suzuki Keeps Moving Up Hit Chart

Sweeping the Pirates was really nice to see. Without question though, the feel good baseball moment of August for the Miami Marlins was an eighth inning triple against the Colorado Rockies that pushed outfielder Ichiro Suzuki into an elite company shared by only thirty other players in the history of the game.

After a season’s worth of mounting anticipation that spanned an entire ocean, on August 7th, Ichiro became the 31st player ever to lay claim to having knocked out at least 3000 hits over the course of their MLB career. And to say that it was the biggest milestone ever achieved by a player in a Marlins uniform is to do insult to understatement.
