Congratulations go to Ichiro Suzuki on his 4,000th hit as a professional baseball player including his time in Japan. While some may say that this is watered down, that Ichiro is "no Ty Cobb or Pete Rose," the Japanese League stats should not count, etc. it is a pretty big deal nonetheless. Counting T-ball and little league stats some players still would not even sniff 3,000 hits so this is an impressive milestone for both the Yankees and Ichiro. Congrats to Itchy and here's to 300 or so more so he can reach the 3,000 hit plateau in the major leagues.
He has more hits than that as a "professional" if you count his two seasons in the Japan farm system.
