      @@Marx-Lennon They don't count for the same reason stats in the minor leagues don't count. But let's say they did:
      Ichiro: MLB 3089 + JPN 1278 = 4367 total hits
      Rose: MLB 4256 + Minors 427 = 4683 total hits
      Ichiro is/was amazing. One of the greatest hitters of all time, and I'm happy to have been able to see him play. That said, there's no way to argue that he would have played as well against MLB talent as he did against Japanese talent early in his career. Rose played his first 6 seasons against the 15 inch mound and had 200+ hits in 3 of them, including 210 in 1968, the "Year of the Pitcher" that forced MLB to finally lower the mound. The strike zone was also _much_ larger back then.
      It has been fashionable for a while now to propose that Ichiro would have had more hits than Pete if he'd played in the MLB his entire career. Usually this comes from those who lack a sense of historical context.

    I’ve watched some of his documentaries from the years in Mariners from the beginning thru his records...he is not just an outstanding disciplined player but a humble, sensitive and sincere human being which impressed me most. There is always greatness behind all the achievements and there is a greatness in the individual behind it. This is something that inspired me most. He talks about adjusting to a new environment, still keeping his own shape, how to make baseball fans happy which is his job, how the team is important not the individual, how he doubt himself and how he would overcome it...it’s actually as in sports as in life, so much to learn from these players at the top...
    I wish more people could access those great documentaries which is mostly in Japanese unfortunately..
