There were only four pitchers in baseball history who compiled 3000 strikeouts with less than 1000 walks. Two of them played for the Cubs. Both wore number 31. Jenkins and Maddux 😮
He still shows up to the field every day and coaches to some degree in a general "staff" position. He keeps the mood light, happy, and he probably doesnt know anything else but to keep showing up. So they keep paying him to show up. He would show either way i would bet. Thanks for everything ichiro
@@lesteraanholt2857 ahem, go back and look at the video..........those, "greatest moments", produced the winners. Go ahead, youtube, keep, "highlighting", responses against me.
Instead of playing in Japan for 9 yrs, he shoulda came to the States. He woulda broke numerous hitting records and fielding records. Despite his late arrival, he was still able to break multiple records in a very short time.
12:27 hold up, the Tribe traded away Eck for a bunch of nobodies that didn’t do anything. You should have included that trade too. My dads still pissed about that trade btw lol
I'll never forget that throw. After that, me and my other outfielders would practice that every practice. As a right fielder, I dreamed to recreate that play in a game. So much so that I was playing left one game. Kid hits a grounder past 3rd and walked to first. I ran up grabbed that ball and fired it to first. Had either of them been paying attention, the kids nose wouldn't have broke. I hit him square in the face. He hustled to first every game after that lol
It's honestly sad how little he's been interviewed in US media. I guess it's because I watch a lot of eSports, but I'm used to watching non-English speaking athletes do interviews with translators, and it seems weird that the most famous Japanese athlete in US history didn't get more press
@@tylerxoxo7357 not his entire career, if at all. I think he did but honestly a bunch of other guys did too. I hated bonds for years for it but “fuck it” still takes skill to have timing etc.
