- Pierre was only the third player since 1971 to play every inning of all his team's games.
- On May 9, 2006, Pierre robbed the San Francisco Giants' Barry Bonds of a career 714th home run, which would have tied Bonds with Babe Ruth for second on the all-time list, by catching the ball as it topped the fence.
- He was the first Marlin to record 200 hits in a season.
- Became only the third player in history to record 200 hits in a season and not bat .300 (the other players were Buddy Bell and Bill Buckner).
- Pierre is referred to in the Beyonce and Jay-Z song Déjà Vu, which Pierre actually uses as his entrance music before batting in a game.
- After Miguel Tejada snapped his consecutive games played streak on June 23, 2007, Pierre has the longest active streak.
