He played 19 MLB seasons from 2001 to 2019, mostly in Seattle, batting .311 with 3,089 hits — and adding 1,278 from nine years with the Orix BlueWave in Japan. The combined 4,367 professional hits has no parallel. In 2001 he became the second player ever to win Rookie of the Year and MVP in the same season. Cooperstown called in 2025.
