"Mariners right fielder Ichiro Suzuki reached the 200-hits mark for the 10th straight year Thursday with a fifth inning single to center against Toronto Blue Jays starter Shawn Hill.

Ichiro, 36, who entered the game with 198 hits, struck out in the first inning and doubled in the third inning. He grounded out to pitcher in the seventh inning.

He is the only player in major league history to get 200 hits in 10 straight seasons, and now holds the American League record for most 200-hit seasons. He surpasses Ty Cobb, who had nine in 24 seasons for the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Athletics.

Pete Rose reached the mark 10 times – but not consecutively – in 24 National League seasons for the Cicinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies."
