Ichiro Cleverly Hits The Ball Inside Pitcher's Jersey
We hear plaudits for Ichiro Suzuki a lot. He's consistent, he's one of the best baseball players of the past decade, he curses hilariously in the clubhouse before all-star games.

Two days ago, the Mets finished a series in a night game that had been rained out the previous Tuesday and rescheduled.
