On Ichiro Suzuki's induction weekend, a new exhibit in Cooperstown shares his place in the international baseball landscape.
The Marlins exercised their 2017 option on outfielder Ichiro Suzuki and re-signed 3B Martin Prado to a three-year deal through 2019.
Plate umpire Brian Knight left the game between the Marlins and the Dodgers in the fifth inning Friday night after a pitch caromed off Ichiro Suzuki and hit Knight in the mask and neck area.
Ichiro Suzuki became the 30th player in MLB history and first from Japan to join the 3,000-hit club 119 years after Cap Anson first did it in 1897.
Ichiro Suzuki now has 4,257 hits in his pro baseball career -- surpassing Pete Rose's MLB total. "To be honest, this wasn't something that I was a making out as a goal," Suzuki said.
Pete Rose doesn't think Ichiro Suzuki's hits in Japan should count toward passing his major league hits record.
