who is the all time hit leader in mlb?
ty cobb
pursuant to major league baseball (mlb) rule 6.09(a), "[the] batter becomes a runner when he hits a fair ball". the single—in which the batter reaches first base without being put out, and without the benefit of a fielding error—is the most common type of hit in baseball: for example, there were 25,838 singles hit during the 1988 mlb season, compared to 6,386 doubles, 840 triples, or 3,180 home runs. the mlb leader in singles is pete rose, who is also the league's all-time hit leader. the single-season leader in singles is ichiro suzuki, who broke willie keeler's 106-year-old record in 2004 by notching 225, 19 more than the previous record. none of the top five players in singles (rose, ty cobb, eddie collins, cap anson, and keeler) in mlb history have hit for the cycle; of those five, only rose had more than 150 home runs, and two (collins and keeler), who both played during the dead-ball era, had fewer than 50, lessening the probability of their completing the cycle.
