Young Ichiro

[PIP]

From his Orix BlueWave days...

The 2nd highlight kills me... Ichiro playing centerfield...:chuckles:

Best arm out in right field I've seen in my very limited lifetime of baseball-watching.

With that said, I am not mad at the music choice in that video at all. Took me straight back to the days of Krazy Kickball in elementary school with the NOW series blarin' from the gym teacher's stereo.

He's so accurate with those throws,

Check out the punch-out by the ump after the throw @ 1:48. The catcher is several of these highlights puts on a clinic on how to block the plate, too.

Hey PIP, Ichiro played CF for the Ms in 2007 and was pretty respectable. What is crazy also about Ichiro is that he was once considered too small even for Japanese pro ball.

 

[CornerThree]

It's a shame he didn't get into MLB until he was 27. He already has 2100 major league hits, plus almost 1300 more in Japan. Someone needs to knock that Pete Rose fucker off the hits list.

Im hijacking this thread, and turning it into a young Indians thread.

What a cannon. And it is too bad we only got to enjoy Ichiro after he was 27. Very underappreciated player, who handles business and never complains.

Very true, Fudd...

Outside of Lord Jeter, Ichiro is my favorite to watch....

Derek Jeter falls under the same category as Ichiro. They are there for the right reasons.
