Denver, CO | [Ichiro] Son of a.... My most favorite player was just traded to the Evil Empire for basically nothing.
And his first game with the Evil Empire.... is at Safeco.

Brooklyn, NY | Ichiro is about half the player he use to be. That being said, it was still a steal for the Yankees.

Players tend to do that at the end of their careers if they haven't won the championship. Obviously the Mariners aren't winning it within the next 2 years, so I can't fault Ichiro for wanting to try to win a World Series.
But yeah, to the evil empire... yuck... |

Ken Griffey Jr and /or Ichiro, both in their prime. Who would you choose as the greatest Mariners player? I say Ichiro.
BTW he's still a damn good player. If I was 38 years old and wanted a ring before finishing my career going to the Big Apple is what I'd choose. That applies to any Sport, except basketball.  |

Brooklyn, NY | His OBP is terrible the last few seasons. This year it's .290, a little better than Jeff Franceour.

Im still gonna miss Ichiro when he retires. He was one of the most exciting players ever to watch.

His hitting declined quite a bit lately, althoygh even with that, he was still one of the better hitters in the team.
And his first game with the Evil Empire.... is at Safeco.
Let's face it:
a) the M's suck
b) the M's really suck
c) the M's realy-really suck, and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future, so it's better to let a veteran player go now than have him suffer through some more last place finishes.
He no longer has a chance to earn a ring with the M's, but I think it's a whole different ballgame with the Yankees.

I saw his first AB as a Yankee on TV. At least the fans were classy and gave him a proper ovation, Ichiro bowed to the crowd. It gave him a proper farewell to a team and city that admires him still.
But my first view of him in a Yankee uni make me do a double take thinking I was in a bizarro world. |
