Ichiro wants to play in MLB until he's at least 50. Any chance? [View all]
He's almost 44. The Marlins have an option on him for $2 million next season.
He came off the bench a lot this year and is hitting .259 with 20 RBI and 3 HRs.
He has 3,080 career hits (plus more in Japan), and ranks 22nd all-time in MLB hits.
"You get judged by your numbers and what you've left behind when you leave this game," Ichiro said. "I think everybody in here would want to [break the record], because we're all professionals. We're all trying to do something and leave a mark on the game.
"I have an opportunity now to do something that can leave something behind. I think it's a great opportunity."
