I showed you it's 75 hits over his Japanese career based on #'s.

it's not that wide a gulf.

Ichiro is one of the greatest hitters ever to play baseball, why would you try an make such a hollow arguement just to get him record? - musubi Jun 5, 09:15 2
- Because baseball's a numbers game and 4257 professional hits would be more than anyone else ever. - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:16 1
  - I've already said they're the most professional hits ever. But they're also different. - musubi Jun 5, 09:29
He got 1,200+ hits in Japan. I can't count those hits towards the record. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 09:13
But we can't *know* Will! Spare me your numerical alchemy! -- nm - Reagen Jun 5, 09:11 12
- We know he got those hits. Those hits are as real and as valid as any other. But they're not MLB hits. If you count those, you count Oh's HRs too. - musubi Jun 5, 09:16 11
  - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 09:21
  - "it's that simple." What we're saying is, maybe it's not. -- nm - Reagen Jun 5, 09:18 9
    - How is it not that simple? Would a goal scored in Eastern Europe count to the NHL scoring record? - musubi Jun 5, 09:32 8
      - the stats could eventually be compared (with a lot more work than baseball) - Reagen Jun 5, 09:34 7
        
        So your answer then is no, right? (nm) - musubi Jun 5, 09:36 6
        
        This is apples and oranges where the hits discussion is Red Delicious vs Fuji. -- nm - Reagen Jun 5, 09:39 5
        
        Will's solution is counting all the Red Delicious and the Fuji's together. (nm) - musubi Jun 5, 09:43 4
        
        Actually, I've done enough rough calcs to show you why his #'s should vary within reason. - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:46
        
        (because they are apples.) -- nm - TFox Jun 5, 09:43 2
        
        But not Gala and Granny Smiths! - musubi Jun 5, 09:45 1
        
        Or ripened vs any apple. - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:47
