He was a hell of a player. Hate to see him go.

Not a baseball fan, but my son took me to a game and I saw Ichiro hit a home run. The crowd loved him.

A class act through and through. The day after I arrived in Japan to visit my grandchildren in March, his retirement announcement was front page news.

My kids grew up in Kobe watching him play for our local team. It was always fun to see him lift one leg before cracking a pitch into the outfield, often for a base hit.
