Lots of discussion of this on the SABR groups. As was pointed out there, Sisler's record is like Ruth's 60 HRs, it's easy enough to be ahead of the pace coming into the last 6 week of the season, but Sisler averaged over 1.8 hits a game over the last 6 weeks of the season. It will certainly be interesting to see if Ichiro can keep up the pace. Unlike the HR record, I think this is even more sensative to the number of games played. 8 extra games is huge when you are hitting at this level.

I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home I would be arrested, so I go to baseball games and fit right in.
