Miami Marlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki etched his own piece of baseball history, surpassing Pete Rose's fabled record for hits during a 6-3 defeat against the San Diego Padres. The 42-year-old Japanese star took his hit count in professional baseball to 4,257, one past Rose's longstanding Major League Baseball mark of 4,256 set between 1983 and 1986. Suzuki's pursuit of Rose's total has been followed avidly in his native Japan.
