SPORTS Thursday, June 16, 2016 East Oregonian BRIEFLY MLB Suzuki passes Rose’s career hits total Miami Marlins Ichiro Suzuki hits a double in the ninth inning of a baseball game against the San Diego Padres Wednes- day, June 15, 2016, in San Diego. With the hit, Suzu- ki’s combined career hits in Japan and the major leagues surpassed Pete Rose’s major league record of 4,256 career hits. By JAY PARIS Associated Press SAN DIEGO — With two hits Wednesday, Ichiro Suzuki raised his career total in the Japanese and North American major leagues to 4,257, passing Pete Rose’s record Major League Baseball total. “This wasn’t like a goal of mine to get to this point,” Suzuki said through a translator after the Miami Marlins’ 6-3 loss to the San Diego Padres. Suzuki had 1,278 hits for Orix in Japan’s Paciic League (1992- 00) and has 2,979 with Seattle, the New York Yankees and Marlins. Rose was quoted recently by USA Today as saying: “I’m not trying to take anything away from Ichiro, he’s had a Hall of Fame career, but the next thing you know, they’ll be counting his high-school hits.” “Obviously, I’ve heard of Pete Rose’s comments, and he wasn’t happy about what they are saying about this record,” Suzuki said. “To be honest, this wasn’t some- thing that I was a making out as a goal. It was just kind of a weird situation to be in because of the combined total.” Suzuki’s irst hit Wednesday was on a dribbler in the irst. His second was a double into the right-ield corner in the ninth. “For me, it’s not about the record,” Suzuki said. “It’s about my teammates and the fans.” Marlins president David Samson watched while having a sushi dinner in Germany. “Ichiro gets a hit in the irst inning and I loudly cheer. He looks at the TV and says ‘Ichiro!’ and the irst thing he does is put down the tuna and extend his hand, and then he reaches to pull up his white AP Photo/Gregory Bull A man takes a look at an extra of a Japanese sports newspaper reporting Miami Mar- lins’ Ichiro Suzuki’s 4,257th hit, in Tokyo on Thursday. AP Photo/Shuji Kajiyama coat like it’s Ichiro’s jersey and gets into Ichiro’s batting stance,” Samson said of the chef. “That to me was the most symbolic moment as it relates to Ichiro and his career. He transcends borders and demographics and religion and race. He does something very few people do. He does his job.” Suzuki joined the Marlins ahead of the 2015 season. “If you could have 25 Ichiros, you would have 25 World Series rings.” Samson said. “He is a true humble professional who works as hard when he’s 0 for 5 as when he’s 5 for 5. That skill cannot be taught. In a world where sports athlete are rarely role models, Ichiro is a true role model off and on the ield.” In the ninth inning, Suzuki lined a double into the right-ield corner against Rodney, then took off his helmet and waved it to applauding fans. The sparse crowd, announced at 20,037, gave Suzuki a warm ovation as both teams’ players applauded for Suzuki, as well. “Ichiro is a really special player and I love to see him get this and keep his march going toward 3,000 hits,” Mattingly said. “It says a lot about him as a player, how he prepares every day and his love for playing.” Suzuki entered Wednesday batting .347 in a part-time role, putting him on pace to become the 30th person to reach 3,000. Suzuki turns 43 on Oct. 22. Two players were 42 or older when they got No. 3,000: Cap Anson (45) and Rickey Henderson (42).
