2001 Ichiro Suzuki reached 200 hits. Only two other rookies -- Boston's Nomar Garciaparra (1997) and Kansas City's Kevin Seitzer (1987) -- have recorded 200 hits in a season since 1964.


McGriff reached 80 RBI for the 14th straight season, only the second player in major league history to do so. Hank Aaron had 17 seasons with 80 or more RBIs
