RESOLUTION 
Congratulating Ichiro Suzuki for breaking the Major League 
Baseball record for hits in a single season. 
Whereas on Friday, October 1, 2004, right fielder Ichiro Su-
zuki of the Seattle Mariners got his 258th hit of the 
2004 season, thereby breaking the Major League Base-
ball record for hits in a single season; 
Whereas Ichiro Suzuki’s 262 hits in a single season breaks 
the 84-year old record of 257, set by George Sisler in 
1920; 
Whereas Ichiro Suzuki’s 225 singles in a single season breaks 
the 106-year old record of 206, set by ‘‘Wee’’ Willie 
Keeler in 1898;
•HRES 817 IH 
Whereas in 2004 Ichiro Suzuki won his second American 
League batting title in four years; 
Whereas Ichiro Suzuki’s batting average of .372 during the 
2004 season was the highest single-season batting aver-
age ever for a Seattle Mariner; and 
Whereas no other player in the history of Major League 
Baseball has as many hits in the first four years of his 
career as Ichiro Suzuki: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) congratulates Ichiro Suzuki for breaking the 
Major League Baseball record for hits in a single 
season and recognizes his historic achievements; 
(2) requests that the President recognize the 
accomplishments of Ichiro Suzuki; and 
(3) directs the Clerk of the House of Represent-
atives to make available enrolled copies of this reso-
lution to Ichiro Suzuki for appropriate display and 
to transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution to the 
owner of the Seattle Mariners, the Commissioner of
