A man reads an extra edition of a local Japanese sports newspaper reporting on Major League Baseball (MLB) player Ichiro Suzuki's record setting hits, at a railway station in Tokyo on June 16, 2016. Japan exploded in joy on June 16 after Marlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki smacked his 4,257th hit, surpassing by one the previous record held by legendary Pete Rose. However the significance of his milestone has not generated the same level of attention in the United States, mostly because 1,278 of Suzuki's hits came while playing in Japan. / AFP PHOTO / KAZUHIRO NOGIKAZUHIRO NOGI/AFP/Getty Images
