I'm not sure when, but either next season or the one after is going to be Ichiro's last season (unless he continues playing in Japan). He's very close to reaching the 3000 MLB hits, 500 stolen bases, and the world record for most professional career hits (NPB and MLB combined).
ESPN does the "hall of 100" ranking but Ichiro is apparently not even included in the ballot.
If he was eligible for the ballot, where does he rank among all time MLB players?
1: Only considering his MLB career
2: If he had played in MLB from the beginning (he has dominated NPB quite early in his career btw)
This is just for fun but who do you think is the NHL version of Ichiro (I've seen threads that compare Jeter=Yzerman/Sakic/Toews, Rose=Francis/Gartner, ...etc.)?
His resume is...
Awards
X1 MVP (2001)
X1 MVP votes by the players (2004)
X1 All Star MVP (2007)
X1 Rookie of the year
X10 Gold Gloves
X3 Silver Slugger
X3 Fielding Bible
Titles
X1 Stolen Bases leader
X2 Batting Average leader
(X7 Hits leader)
Others
262 hits (most in single season)
Number 1 in WAR (2004)
10 straight 200 hits
10 straight .300 average
4000 professional career hits (MLB+NPB)
Longevity
Ratings from Clubs
X3 Best hitter
X6 Best bunter
X3 fastest runner
X8 best base runner
X9 best outfield arm
X7 best defensive outfielder
X5 most exciting player
Coming soon
3000 MLB hits
500 MLB stolen bases
World record for most professional career hits
