In response to "What exactly is your argument, that Ichiro is a better hitter then Rose, or that he should have the hit record?" by musubi

Actually, I should probably say: better "player" than Rose, rather than better "hitter".

cause I believe Ichiro was the better player, but as hitters, they're pretty close.

Responses:

As a hitter, I don't think it's close; Rose might be a better player, but he got the hits record by hanging around for 25 years - Will Hunting Jun 5, 08:57 3
- Rose was almost assuredly not the better player, but as a hitter, he was likely Ichiro's equal, if not better. - musubi Jun 5, 09:04 2
  - Rose's BA is .303 career. His OPS was .785. Ichiro's BA is .333 and his OPS is .820 or so. - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:08 1
    - In a totally different hitting environment. Look at their peaks, relative to their leagues, and you'll clearly see that Rose was Ichiro's equal - musubi Jun 5, 09:10
