It certainly shouldn't count the same way Paul Molitor or Robin Yount getting 3000 hits should count. The 3000 hit club is reserved for guys doing it in the Major Leagues. That said I do think Hall of Fame voters owe it some consideration when Ichiro's time comes. I think Ichiro will be inducted into the Hall and the voters will take into account his full body of work when voting for him.

"The type and formula of most schemes of philanthropy or humanitarianism is this: A and B put their heads together to decide what C shall be made to do for D. The radical vice of all these schemes, from a sociological point of view, is that C is not allowed a voice in the matter, and his position, character, and interests, as well as the ultimate effects on society through C's interests, are entirely overlooked. I call C the Forgotten Man"
