I'm a rather tepid Yankee fan at this point in life, but my wife scored two luxury box tix to go to new Yankee stadium this year--against the M's. I didn't really appreciate Cliff Lee that night. He sent the Yanks down all night, but in a sort of boring way. But Ichiro? I was cheering for him! He'll be in Cooperstown one day I hope. He deserves it.
He and Griffey will be the first ones in the Hall. Edgar should be there, but there is a pox on DH players for some reason.
I was actually at the game where Edgar was honored. A street named for him, and the DH of the year award named after him.
