ATLANTA -- As the Reds prepared for their series finale against the Braves on Thursday, a couple of players sat in the visitors' clubhouse at Turner Field watching highlights from Wednesday's games.
They chatted and analyzed every clip. But when the highlights from the Marlins-Padres game came on the TV, they intently observed the moment Ichiro Suzuki made history.
With a 2-for-5 effort in Wednesday's 6-3 loss in San Diego, Ichiro reached 4,257 career hits -- 1,278 in Japan and 2,979 in Major League Baseball. Pete Rose finished his career with a record 4,256 hits in the Majors.
