Combined with his years in japan, he now has 3001 hits.

1278 hits with the orix blue waves, 3619 ABs in 951 games.
(916 singles, 211 doubles, 23 triples, 118 home runs)
holds the japanese single season hits record with 210 in 1994 (546 ABs in 130 games).

1723 hits with the mariners, 5214 ABs in 1223 games.
(1401 singles, 189 doubles, 62 triples, 71 home runs)
holds the MLB single season hits record with 262 in 2004 (704 ABs in 161 games).

And Oh holds the record for most HRs, and Moon has the most passing TDs. It just isn't the same.

Edit * I guess Farve did finally pass Moon.

I think we should have the Three-Fifths Compromise of '08 and make his Japan Hits count as 3/5 of an MLB hit...

it really isnt the same, but he'll get 3000 in the mlb regardless.

In my book he only has 1,723. I don't recognize Japan as a country because they took our jobs!!!

Yup, but he'll reach "4,000" before reaching 3,000.

Ichiro Suzuki, the Warren Moon of baseball.
