If Derek Jeter plays 8 more years (he would be 43), he would break Pete Rose's all time hits record. But it seems like a long shot that Jeter would play that many more years.
If Ichiro had played his entire career in the MLB, he would definitely break the all time hits record.
Congrats to Rickey Henderson (and Jim Rice, too) for making it to the Hall of Fame this weekend. Rickey was the greatest.
I'm looking at the list of players that are up for Hall of Fame voting in 2010. Here they are: Roberto Alomar, Kevin Appier, Andy Ashby, Ellis Burks, Andres Galarraga, Pat Hentgen, Mike Jackson, Eric Karros, Ray Lankford, Barry Larkin, Edgar Martinez, Fred McGriff, Shane Reynolds, Robin Ventura, and Todd Zeile.
Yikes! What a weak-ass class. Will any of these dudes make it on the first ballot?
- Edgar Martinez might eventually make it but he gets dinged for being primarily a DH in his career.
- Roberto Alomar might make it, but his stint with the Mets was so disastrous that it tarnished his entire career. Plus some lady said he gave her AIDS.
- I guess Fred McGriff has the best shot on this list. But he's far from Rickey Henderson's level of greatness.
