A Quick Thought About Ichiro, Derek Jeter, and Pete Rose

Ben Margot - AP

It took Derek Jeter about 6,350 at-bats to reach 2,000 career hits. Pete Rose nearly amassed 6,500 at-bats before reaching the threshold.

Ichiro took a few less than 6,000 at-bats before recording hit number 2,000.

Well let me be the one to point out the obvious.

Ichiro has a .330 avg and I’m no baseball expert(or am I?) but a .330 avg. is higher than a .315 or a .305ish average.

And now a scene from seinfeld
ELAINE: [mind] Who does this guy think he is?
KEITH: [mind] I'm Keith Hernandez.

Not sure I understand...

Anyone want to place bets

On whether Ichiro reaches 3000 hits as an MLB player?

I say he will.

He is a first ballot HOFer right now.

we could

debate on the merits, but as far as “fame” goes, a first ballot is quiet likely.

My guess is one of the three gentlemen mentioned in the post would take that wager

I wonder which one it would be… hmmm… .which would it be…

I'm not a sabermetrician, but I do play one at Driveline Mechanics.

I'd go with Jeter

I bet he’s impossible to keep out of the off-track betting…that guy has always seemed like a shady character.

Can you spot the five guys NOT in the Hall of Fame? It's easy, I separated 'em for ya. :)

Here's the full post about guys elected to the Hall of Fame primarily for their defense. Guys like Brooks Robinson, Ozzie Smith, Bobby Wallace, John Ward, and Bid McPhee stand up as definite HOFers, with many others worthy of debate (and a couple aren't worth any debate at all).

I almost made it through the whole post without comparing some HOFers to our friends Bill Dahlen, Lou Whitaker, Bobby Grich, Alan Trammell, and Ron Santo. Almost.
