In baseball terms, the "pros" is unanimously considered to exclude minor league play. Ichiro has the most hits of any baseball players at the highest level.
Plus, Pete Rose used a corked bat and was a known cheater, all his stats deserve an asterisk.

I don't know where you get your baseball terms from, but there's no need for quotation marks around professional. Minor league players get paid to play the game, hence they are the very definition of professional. In my experience, only the casual fans don't understand that difference.
