The man started his MLB career in the midst of a steroid era and left an unquestionably legendary career.

I don't know that we will ever see a more professional athlete than Ichiro. This guy exemplifies the best qualities of our national past time in every way possible. Legend-Role model-hero! We love you Ichiro! 🇯🇵🇺🇸

Best contact hitter ever

A solid 4 tool player with a gentle yes on the 5th. In my humble opinion the greatest player of my generation, possibly ever. Hits, speed on the bases, absolute canon for an arm, multiple golden gloves, great baseball I.Q., he could do it all and he did it with grace and professionalism.

In the majors, the number of strikeouts and wins may be justice for pitchers with the number of home runs. But in his own way he left a mark on the majors that can't be ignored

Outfield: Mays, Mantle, Dimaggio, Aaron, Henderson, Trout, Bonds -- just to name a FEW would be entirely more dangerous and disruptive to opposing teams' pitchers. Henderson alone on the base paths is absolute terror and disruption. May, Mantle, Bonds? all better athletes than Ichiro, especially in baseball. who else would i choose besides ichiro in the outfield? Gwynn? of course. Williams? OF COURSE. and ichiro would never ever make my DH list.

Worlds, universes, collided when Johnny Pesky got Ichiro's autograph. What a great moment, Ted must have looked on and smiled from wherever he was!!

I am going be to absolutely baffled and at a loss of words If Ichiro doesn't make it in the HOF on his first ballot. What a legend.

I guess you missed Albert Pujols while you slept.

Albert had 85 rbi's as of Sept. 9th of 2019, and they have kept him out of 31 games to that point. If he misses 100 again, it will be a shame and a crime for the Angels to do that to him.

That was a cool video. You nailed why Ichiro is so humble in the last scene with the kids. A true artist of baseball.

i've had the privilege to see both sadaharu oh (22 years and 868 home runs) and ichiro suzuki play, ichiro hit .372 the year he had 262 hits. i'm old enough to remember rod carew, he's in ichiro's class with what they do, i'll never forget a game where carew had 3 consecutive hits between 3rd and short. i really miss this kind of tactical baseball, tree trunks hitting home runs or striking out with guys on 2nd and 3rd and one out, is boring.

Ichiro was the greatest baseball player I ever saw.......

true legend

What a beautiful video, perfectly made! Thank you Tecknowledgist! I started playing, watching and following baseball religiously as a kid for a few years before 2001, as a Yankee fan during their 98-2000 dynasty. By the time Ichiro came in, I quickly became a huge fan and he became my favorite player! I would watch as many of his games as possible on the sports streaming websites and on Local TV whenever he played against Yankees or Mets. He was such a unique and rare talent with his amazing contact, speed, fielding, arm, etc. I was so thrilled when he came to the Yankees! And even into his 40s he could still run and play with the best of them. It was a pleasure watching him play and break 80 year old records, I will forever be grateful to have done so. He was such a humble and generous person too, a class act, a jokester, an all around fun person, which you could see in this video. In the future, I could say that I got to see Ichiro the legend play, and man was he special!
