There is no doubt one genius and legendary existence in 100 years. From now on, in the baseball world, it will continue to be compared and said in a form of something similar to "like Ichiro" or "compared with Ichiro". It is an entity that is so far from being human and can not be expressed in words. And I would be able to boast that such a legendary person could "see in real time" when it became an old man.
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
Lets see...3000 in usa.1200 more in japan.Could almost certainly have. had bigger power numbers if he'd wanted.Glove & Arm both spoke for themselves.I am Phillies guy,win or lose,and I.S. is on my all time favorites list w/my Phils.
We will miss Ichiro.Well, I am not an enthusiastic baseball fan.But I can understand what ichiro did in his career in the longest American baseball history. P.S. I think that an infielder would not like to handle Ichiro's hit ball. A most of them seem to be upset lol
Apparently in Japan Ichiro hit for power and when they said that he struggled in spring of his first season opening his shoulders I found out why he lost power when he got here he shortened his swing I suppose and Call me a baseball nerd all you want I could care less
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
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.
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
1:36 As of now, I can't imagine what I should do. 9:14 I'm very happy, but I've started playing baseball in MLB only a year and a harf. I think I have to keep on getting good results at least three years. So I still have a long way to go.
