keep in mind, it's not an official record, simply acknowledging the accomplishment, and those 2722 hits in just 13 years put him past Lou Gehrig. It was just an acknowledgement of his accomplishments, much like if Sudahara Oh had come to the US to play for a few seasons. A celebration, nothing more, nothing less
and it's quite possible he can reach 3,000 MLB hits be end of next season...that's 3000 in 14 seasons, that's 214+ hits a season, that's pretty frigging awesome
