Stats Help, Please?

Hey Folks, I was listening to the Ticket today and they were talking about Michael Young. They said that if he gets 200 hits this year, he will join some select company of only like 6 or 7 players to have 200 hits in 4 strait seasons. Where do I go to get this info? I couldn't find it on Baseball-Reference. Could someone provide me with a link that they have?

I love this kind of stuff.
Thanks
Kevin

Here's the list

I got the info from The Baseball Archive Access database.

Some of these players had other 200+ hit seasons, but I only listed the seasons which were consecutive.

hall of famer - michael young?

just as i suspected, out of that group, there are 9 hall of famers, and 1 active player in Ichiro. Let the Hall of Fame talk begin, whether Michael wants to hear it or not.

Ichiro

Young is a ways from retiring, but Ichiro is a lot closer. He is not knocking on the door or anything but he is older. The question is, is Ichiro a Hall of Famer? He's on the this list and he is the single season hit record holder. He as also won a batting title and been dominate for his entire career. I don't know that I could answer it or had even thought about it until now. Oh and he was also Rookie of the Year (crock).

Ichiro

If you think the rookie of the year award is a crock (like I do) then you are, in some way, acknowledging that his Japanese career meant something, and therefore should be considered when the Hall of Fame question comes up.

I think if Ichiro has a few more Ichiro-like seasons then he's a no-brainer.

Got trust factor?
