Ichiro Is The True Hit King And Pete Rose Can Eat Shit
Today, Ichiro Suzuki hit an eighth-inning double off of Fernando Rodney to the right field corner.

If you count his ...
Ichiro Still Rules
Ichiro Suzuki should be making us sad. He’s 42 years old, a wisp of the player he used to be, and currently in year two of the Joe Montana-in-Kansas City phase of his career. An old-ass former star playing out his final days for a no-account team like the Marlins, in a stadium as garish as it is con...
Ichiro Is On The Mound For The Marlins
Ichiro Suzuki is an ageless wonder who quite possibly has limitless baseball powers he only chooses to dole out sparingly for the art of it.

Ichiro Hits First Home Run Of The Season, Jeter Gives Him The Business
Ichiro Suzuki hit his first home run of the season last night, a three-run homer that put the Yankees on top of the Blue Jays 6-4.

Ichiro's Run Last Night Was Everything You Love About Ichiro And Everything You Hate About The Yankees
This is one of the things about the Yankees, one of the reasons the New York Yankees are a sickness on the soul of baseball, this play from Ichiro Suzuki last night. Ichiro!

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. Add a new one—he has such pinpoint control of the ball as it comes off his bat that he can make it essentially unfield-a...

Ichiro's First At-Bat As A Yankee: A Double Bow To Mariners Fans, Followed By A Slap Single Up The Middle
It's a little weird to see Ichiro sporting a Yankee cap (especially the custom low-profile 5150 they seem to have given him) but how his first plate appearance for the Yankees went couldn't have been more predictable. And, yet, it was wonderful, as the veteran gave a respectful bow to both sides of...

Here's The Yankees' Triple Play You'll Be Seeing Over And Over Tonight

Ichiro Finally Cracks
