Willie Keeler set the record between 1894-1901.

Ichiro doesn't get enough credit as a ballplayer, probably doesn't help that he plays in Seattle. Got to watch him live a few times last year and it was a treat.

When I saw him 2 years ago he went 4/5 against Oakland. Great player. Always consistent.

I've been to a couple Mariners games at Safeco, and I'd watch him when he was in the outfield. The guy is ALWAYS stretching. Easily Japan's greatest ever baseball export.
