The Miami Marlins' Ichiro Suzuki was honored by his teammates April 30 at Marlins Park for becoming the 30th major leaguer to join the 3,000-hit club.

In front of a crowd of 26,245 fans, Suzuki was presented with a 2.6-meter-wide, 1.2-meter-tall collage showing photos of each of his 3,000 hits. Suzuki recorded his career 3,000th hit on Aug. 7 of last year.

“(The gift) is a piece of art,” said Suzuki, before joking, "What do I do? Looks like I'll have to buy a house big enough to hang that up." (Kyodo, AP)
