  “Why would he run when I was going to throw him out?” is one of the coldest quotes of all time

  This is not a documentary, it's a spiritual and mental experience.

  Another story I read about Ichiro: Upon being assigned #51 (Which had been Randy Johnson's number), he apparently contacted Johnson himself to say that he would "not bring shame" to his jersey number.

  I grew up in Washington, my whole family did. My aunt knew a guy who did garage work for Ichiro. He noticed Ichiro’s bat collection and starting swinging them, what he didn’t know was that Ichiro had a camera system in his garage and saw him do it. Ichiro responded by sending the guy an autographed bat and a 100 dollar gift certificate to the Cheesecake Factory. That was the type of dude he was!

  My Little Ichiro Story: <br><br><br>I remember in 2017 when Ichiro was in Miami and close to retiring. I was at a game in Philadelphia with my friend. The game got rained out before it even started. As we were walking out through the concourse I noticed someone working out on the field in the rain. It was Ichiro. We walked down to the field and for the next 30 minutes we watched Ichiro workout on a soaked field, in pouring rain, 2 hours before a game that now was not evening going to be played. This was nothing left to prove, 3,000 hit, first ballot Hall of Famer, Ichiro, busting his ass in the rain for a team that was on their way to winning only 77 games He then signed an autograph for a little girl who had waited all this time with her parents as well standing near us. Such an unbelievable player with an absurd work ethic. Best pure hitter of all time.

  Imagine if that agreement between Japan and MLB never existed: The Mariners could have had Ichiro, Griffey Jr, A-Rod, Edgar Martinez and Randy Johnson on the SAME TEAM!!!

  Don’t lie. You’ve been waiting for Jon Bois to narrate Ichiro’s career.
