The asterix argument is stupid. Although Ichiro played more games, Sisler didn't have to face 95 mph+ pitchers, he didn't have to play in SAFECO field, he didn't have to hit the same ball that is played with in today's game. People who want asterix refuse to accept that baseball is an ever-evolving game. The name of the record is "Most Hits in a Single Season". Doesn't say anything about # of games.
