Notes

# Major League Baseball still lists Cobb's hit total at 4,191, but almost all independent baseball historians have revised the total to 4,189.
# A number of disagreements exist over the correct hit total for Anson: see "Career hits total".
# While Ichiro Suzuki had played many years professionally in Japan, this mark is considered the Major League Baseball record for rookies, as this was Ichiro Suzuki's first year in Major League Baseball.
# After leading the American League in 1942, Pesky missed the next three full seasons serving in World War Two. As 1942 was his rookie season, he is the only player to lead his league in hits for his first three seasons.
# This list omits Denny Lyons of the 1887 American Association Philadelphia Athletics, who had a 52-game hitting streak. [ [http://www.thebaseballpage.com/stats/lists_feats/30game_hit_streaks.htm List of 30 game hitting streaks] ] In 1887, the major leagues adopted a new rule which counted walks as hits, a rule which was dropped after that season. Lyons hit in 52 consecutive games that season, but his streak included two games (#22 and #44) in which his only "hits" were walks. In by|1968, MLB ruled that walks in 1887 would not be counted as hits, so Lyons' streak was no longer recognized, though it still appears on some lists. In 2000, Major League Baseball reversed its 1968 decision, ruling that the statistics which were recognized in each year's official records should stand, even in cases where they were later proven incorrect. Paradoxically, the ruling affects only hit "totals" for the year; the batting champion for the year is not recognized as the all-time leader despite having the highest single-season average under the ruling, and Lyons' hitting streak is not recognized.
# Major League Baseball recognizes two hitting streak records: Longest hitting streak in one season, and longest hitting streak over multiple seasons (e.g. Rollins 2005-2006). [ [http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2178924 ESPN - Phils' Rollins extends streak to 36 games - MLB ] ] Keeler's, Sisler's, and Rollins' streaks are listed as 44, 34, and 36 games when discussing "single-season" streaks, and 45, 35, and 38 games when discussing "multiple-season" streaks.
# 18 inning game
# Second game of a double header
#Excluded on this list are Henry Larkin, who accomplished this once with the Washington Senators and again in the American Association, and Ed Delahanty did this once with the Philadelphia Phillies and again in the Players League.
