The Seattle Mariners' Ichiro Suzuki registered three singles to equal, break and then add to the Major League hits record with his 259th of the season in a game against the Texas Rangers Friday. The Japanese outfielder matched George Sisler's 84-year-old mark of 257 hits with a first-inning single before setting the new standard on a base-hit to center field in the third.
This is quite the feat. 84 years is a long time for a record to stand. The Blue Jays record for hits in a season belongs to Tony Fernandez who recorded 213 hits in 1986. Fernandez also leads the Jays in career hits with 1583.
