Ichiro - Second fastest to 2,000 hits.

<< < (2/2)

Twentytwofifty:
Only Al Simmons did it quicker.  I looked him up on BR and saw he was quite a beast.
I looked when he finished 2nd in the MVP race (http://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1925.shtml#ALmvp) because he had fantastic numbers, wondered who could he beat them.  Not sure how voting was done back then, he crushed the winner in almost every category. 

OG Hack Wilson:
al simmons indeed was a beast

part of that Philly A's dynasty


the MVP voting back then is just like it is now:  you have to be on a playoff team lol

two different players, each best at their respective positions.

nigga ichiro is MAD over rated in a historical perspective.  he's nowhere near the best ever at his position...not top 5, probably not top 10 either


pujols is already a top 5 1st baseman of all time


pujols's first 9 seasons are matched by only Williams and Dimaggio

i meant more along the lines in the game today, not historically.

he came in the league at 27? right? i forgot & just yesterday he got his 2,000th hit (second fastest to ever do it).

2,000 hits in 9 seasons, if he stays in his State of Zen & can play another 9 seasons (competitively) & you could the 7 years he could have been in the league before he came over, we could of had a new All Time hits leader.

And I don't know what year they changed it but once you won it you had to wait 6-7 years again before you could win it.  Thats why Babe Ruth only has one MVP.
