talkingsportswithyou.com I took this video with my digital camera from the upper deck at Safeco Field. Ichiro is that little dot at the plate..lol! Not very good footage but hey! It’s Ichiro!! One of the best hitters in Major League baseball. He was facing the Oakland A’s left hander Dana Eveland in this footage. Seattle Mariners vs Oakland Athletics
You can read about Ichiro pitching in high school here in the “Early Life” section: baseball.wikia.com Ichiro pitching in the 1996 Japanese All-Star game, and Hideki Matsui looking the same age as now, he doesn’t age. It appears Ichiro was going to pitch to Matsui, which would have been interesting, but Matsui was pinch hit for.
Ichiro Suzuki has 3 walk off hits in 2009 but the one he will remember the most is the one that came againt the New York Yankees it was a Walk off 2 run homer in the 9th inning with two outs againt one of the best closers Mariano Rivera.
