St. Louis (AFP) - Japan's Ichiro Suzuki has matched one iconic Major League Baseball hitter and is taking aim at another as he chases a historic milestone -- his 3,000th hit in North America.
Suzuki smacked a fifth-inning single for Miami in a 3-1 loss Friday at St. Louis that gave him 2,913 career hits in Major League Baseball, but more importantly 4,191 hits in his North American and Japan League careers combined.
