If he had played his entire career in MLB he would have rewritten the record book. One of the greatest players to ever take the field - and in my book THE most exciting to watch. Ohtani is a close second.
I love Ichiro and am a huge M's fan. Can't deny his skill, the guys a machine. But he was never that gritty, balls to the wall player, he never took risks and it drove me nuts! Watching this video reminds me of all the arrant throws or singles that squeaked by that he could have gotten that extra base. Always hear people compare him to Pete Rose, but that is the one thing Ichiro never had, that hustle and willingness to play 110%. And it became obvious toward the end.,
Wow, what an amazing job! That obviouly took some time to do, very well done! It's a shame as a M's fan I have to go back to 2001 to see such a highlighted season, but I'll take it!
if idiots want to claim "he doesn't hit it hard" as if that matters, try realizing the truth, which is that he is a total fucking MAGICIAN with that bat.
ichiro is the only hitter in history that can literally place the ball just over the left field fence. Makes you wonder why he didn't try it a little more often?
