Story:
On Tuesday the 27th, the Marlins made the signing of Ichiro Suzuki official. Sure this is not big news, but it could turn into huge news by the year’s end. Ichiro is currently sitting on 2844 career MLB hits and 487 total stolen bases. If Ichiro can stay healthy for the whole season in Miami and play well, he could very well become the 29th member of the 3000 hit club and the 38th player to steal at least 500 bags throughout a major league career. Accomplishing these feats, especially the 3000 hits, will put yet another milestone in the books for a future Hall of Famer and one of the greatest hitters of all-time, in Ichiro Suzuki. Because of Ichiro’s age and heavily declining numbers, it was thought that the former AL MVP would not find a team to sign him, thus, not getting the chance at breaking some career accolades, but now with Miami giving out the “courtesy signing”, the baseball world could very well experience history in the making for the 2015 campaign.
