So I knew Ichiro was a bit eccentric, and I had heard the Cleveland quotation before - but this stuff is hilarious. He sounds awesome, although I might be a bit uncomfortable being around him all the time. I mean, how do you respond to most of this stuff?

My friends could handle being around Ichiro, since they hang out with me.

I could see where the Sakuyamon avatar would be a bit off-putting.

I had a perfect North Dakota joke all lined up, but you kind of ruined it.

he's also a really damn good player. overrated by some because of the BA, but underrated by a lot of the "OPS is everything" crowd because his defense and baserunning are fantastic. i know a lot of people warned that once he lost bat speed he'd go from good to bad really quickly, but he's 35 and is hitting .362... so he'll probably be good for a while.

 

it'll be interesting to see if he can get to 3000 hits in MLB despite playing his first 7 full seasons in japan. if you combine his hits in japan and in the u.s. he has 3211 - obviously it's weaker competition in japan, but it's also fewer games. he'd probably have already reached the 3000 hit mark if he'd played in the u.s. is entire career, and would have a good chance at breaking rose's record. in fact i wouldn't be shocked if he ends up with close to 5000 hits between orix and seattle.

 

I wish we had him all these years, if they want to give him up for the playoff run I be glad to take him

Heres a very young Ichiro meeting Michael Jordan during the dynasty years. I love how he's in such utter shock like any true fan would be as well.
