HBO Poll: Greatest Mariner Player?

Seattle Mariners’ Ichiro Suzuki, of Japan, follows through on his double to left off Texas Rangers’ Tommy Hunter in the third inning of the first game of a double-header in Arlington, Texas, Sunday. The hit was Suzuki’s 199th hit of the season. He collected his 200th hit in the second game, an infield single, to set the Major League record of nine consecutive seasons with 200 hits or more. He had been tied with old-time player Wee Willie Keeler. Story here . (AP Photo/Tony Gutierrez)
