"First of all, I have a lot of respect for [Ichiro]," Murton said. "He's one of the best players in baseball. In fact he's doing something in the States that only Pete Rose and himself have done," he added, citing Ichiro recording his 10th 200-hit season in the majors.
"Secondly, I believe he did it in 1994. 1994 and 2010 are two different seasons. One thing is he played 130. We're playing 144. It is what it is.
