In sports and in life one of my most elusive yet prized traits to have is consistency. For the last ten years, as a member of the Seattle Mariners, Ichiro Suzuki has recorded 200 hits per season for ten consecutive years. This is a feat that nobody else in major league has attained and only Pete Rose has come close to. In fact Ichiro broke his own record of nine seasons in a row. Suzuki has exceeded 200 hits every year since moving to the United States, using bat control and natural speed. Even though he is almost 37 years of age, I'm sure Suzuki will try and extend his record again next year. Totally amazing.
