Ichiro card #31 2009 Topps Heritage Flashback #FB-10

• OK, I hadn't heard of Isao Harimoto before looking at this card, but it appears that Harimoto is the only Japanese player to have reached 3000 hits in his Japanese career.   Pretty outstanding seeing as the Japanese only play 80% of the games in a season that MLB plays.  
• Love the photo on the card, it appears as if Ichiro is hitting another ball to left field.  
• Currently, if you count his Japanese hits, Ichiro is ahead of Pete Rose all time by 111.  
• Thought it was funny that Baseball Reference dot com lists Ichiro's positions as "Rightfielder and Relief Pitcher"
• Career game #31:  Ichiro goes 1 for 4 to increase his hit streak to 13 games, but the Mariners lose to their expansion cousins 11-3.  The Jays Darren Fletcher hits 2 HRs to power the Jays victory.
