I was listening to an ESPN affiliate in L.A. and they mentioned that Derek Jeter may’ be the only one who doesn’t take drugs but who knows.
Then someone in Seattle chimed in: Ichiro Suzuki who should be the first man to hit 200 plus in 9 seasons. Now that’s God-given talent.
I was thinking just that about Ichiro. And you think the pitching Ichiro is facing might be a tad tougher than what Ted Williams was looking at?
Don’t get me wrong, of course, Ted was one of the greatest heroes in the history of American sports. But the game has evolved since then, and it certainly hasn’t been all for the worse.
