Miami Marlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki may be 42 years old, but that isn't keeping him from continuing to collect hits en route to 3,000.
Suzuki recorded three hits - two singles and a double - against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, pushing his total to 2,994 in the major leagues.
The Japanese import, who spent nine years in the Japan Pacific League before coming to MLB, passed Pete Rose for the most professional hits in baseball history in June.
