So far... 13/25.  I'm thinking that records are going to fall this month.

I got Jason Schmidt and Ichiro for Nomar, prior to the season in my keeper league.   If he breaks it, he should be the MVP hands down.

Amazing.  That thing must look like a beachball to him right now.

Funny thing is that even with all those hits the guy only has a .417 OBP and and .889 OPS.  Good numbers to be sure, nothing too super for a corner outfielder.  He's entertaining as hell to watch though.  A leadoff single is no more valuable than a leadoff walk, but a lot more fun.

That's for the season funkypants.  His OBP is much better than that since the allstar break.  Hell... he's batting like .470 since the break.  He had a horrible opening month going only .250 or so.  It seems he figured something out halfway through.  When's the last time you remember someone climbing towards .400 this late in the season vs sliding away from it?

One of my employee's last name is Sisler. I asked him if he was any relation to George. George is his great great Uncle! He even has a few family heirlooms at home.

Our whole little league team had some form of an Ichiro shirt on at our season-end party, exception of one or two.  He's a hero here in the area.

Year   Player, Team            AB     H     BA    of .400

1927   Harry Heilmann, Det.    505   201   .398      1
1929   Lefty O'Doul, Phils     638   254   .398      1
1921   Rogers Hornsby, Cards   592   235   .397      2
1912   Joe Jackson, Cle.       572   226   .395      3
1994   Tony Gwynn, S.D.        419   165   .394      3
1921   Harry Heilmann, Det.    602   237   .394      4
1925   Harry Heilmann, Det.    573   225   .393      4
1923   Babe Ruth, N.Y.         522   205   .393      4
1927   Al Simmons, A's         406   159   .392      4
1930   Babe Herman, Bkn.       614   241   .393      5
1931   Al Simmons, A's         513   200   .390      5
1980   George Brett, K.C.      449   175   .390      5
1925   Tris Speaker, Cle.      429   167   .389      5
1957   Ted Williams, Bos.      420   163   .388      5


The record books would look much different if the best black and white players before 1946 had played in two integrated leagues. Several white stars would have been dropped from the list of .400 hitters, to be replaced by blacks.

Here, for example, are the top single-season batting averages in the Negro Leagues:

1928 1928 *Pop Lloyd .563

1924 1924 Mule Suttles .498

1943 1943 Tetelo Vargas .484

1929 1929 Chino Smith .464

1937 *Josh Gibson .449

1946 Frank Austin .454

1939 *Turkey Stearnes .453

1943 *Josh Gibson .449

1929 John Beckwith .443

1923 Biz Mackey .441

* Hall of Famers


Jud Wilson, who batted .366 lifetime to lead all black hitters, batted over .400 four times.

Yeah... it looks like Ichiro will be close to .380.  But, once again, this is after being around .310 at the allstar break.  There's been quite a few hitters at .390 around midpoint of the season, but they always slide in the second half.  I honestly can't remember someone climbing so drastically in the second half of the season for some time.

OK... so it took a day longer than I thought it would.

One fricking day.
