今日のテキスト ICHIRO SETS CAREER HIT RECORD

Japan's Ichiro Suzuki has made baseball history. The Miami Marlins veteran outfielder broke the record for the most hits ever by a Major League ballplayer. But there is some debate over that record as some of his hits were in Japan.
Ichiro reached the milestone against the San Diego Padres as soon as the game started. The Japanese legend used his speed to snatch an infield single. In the ninth inning, Ichiro belted a double to mark his 4,257th hit. It surpassed the record held by baseball great Pete Rose.
But Ichiro's record is unofficial because his hit total spans two professional baseball leagues. Ichiro first racked up 1,278 hits with the Nippon Professional Baseball Organization in Japan. Then he made the move to the U.S. with Major League Baseball, where so far he has whacked 2,979 hits. At 42 years of age, Ichiro is in his 16th season in the MLB.
