Insteresting Ichiro Fact...Has he dropped production since making the swim here?

[dmp]

The hit was Ichiro's 1,222nd since joining the Mariners in 2001, and he totaled 1,278 in nine seasons with Japan's Orix Blue Wave.

In is 5 years here, he has nearly as many hits as he had in Japan, in NINE years.



He'll hit .400 for a season eventually.

I like Ichiro.

I like all of the Japanese players. They are class guys. Hideki Matsui apologized to management and the fans for injuring his wrist while sliding to catch a flyball. Find an American athlete that will do that.

I especially like Tadahito Iguchi. Guch got the game winning hit for the Sox in today's game
