Just sit right back
and you’ll hear the tale
of Number 1 on the list,
Ichiro Suzuki, the new King of Hits

The walks were few, the collars too.
Lots of 3-4’s;
fleet of foot, a real can-do.
He’s got a strong allure

The record stood for many years,
most reckoned many more;
Sisler’s family shed a tear,
'round sorrow, pride, and joy;
'round sorrow, pride, and joy

Whose hits were lined through holes and gaps,
up alleys to the walls?
'Twas Ichiro, King of Hits.
'Twas Ichiro, standing tall, triumphantly,
on a mountain of 200-someodd* baseballs.
