Ichiro takes off his helmet to acknowledge the cheers of fans after the Mariners outfielder collected his 200th hit of the season on Friday in Toronto.

They named a motorcycle after him. What more does he want?

I no longer keep up with baseball so I was not aware of him at all. Thanks for posting this. He is remarkable.

He’s one of those guys that shows that home runs aren’t the only thing that matters.

Haven't followed BB in decades, but for some reason I clicked your thread. That picture intrigued me, so I went looking for a video of that hit and found that it showed what I'd hope it would. A “professional” acting like a professional. It's something in short supply today.

Thanks for the post.

What the article fails to mention is that this guy plays in the little league..If he played real Baseball, ie National League, he'd be lucky to have 50 hits

I’ve always thought he has one of the funniest looking swings in baseball - but he somehow makes contact, and directs the balls path like a pool player picking his shot.

A great outfielder with a wonderful quick release and powerful accurate arm, great base runner. Ideal leadoff hitter.
