And with his 300 more stolen bases in the time period than Rose, he was on 2nd more than Rose was, assuming he stole 3rd and home less than 124 times.

I forgot the key stat for the difference in their OBPs

Rose (68-77) 770 BB

Ichiro (01-10) 455 BB

Nine gold gloves, an MVP, single season hit record, 10 straight 200 hit seasons....................he would have to do something stupid to not be a first ballot HOFer.
