This Date in Baseball - Ichiro becomes all-time hits leader by a player born outside the U.S., 3,054
Ichiro Suzuki of the Florida Marlins became the all-time hits leader for a player born outside the United States by reaching 3,054 hits, surpassing Rod Carew, during a 4-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
In 1929, the St. Louis Cardinals scored 10 runs in both the first and fifth innings to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 28-6 in the second game of a doubleheader.
The Cardinals set a National League record with 28 hits and 28 runs in that 1929 game.
The first major league All-Star game was played in 1933 at Comiskey Park in Chicago, where the American League won 4-2, featuring a two-run homer from Babe Ruth.
