One of my favorite Ichiro catches ever

Though that’s mostly because the camera angle was perfect. “Did he get it?! Did he catch it … ?!”

::glove pops out from behind the tarp::

“HE CAUGHT IT!”

Jap anus relations.

Ichiro is amazing, and that call by Dave was another classic. Glad I was listening to the radio.

As the kids say, "Ichiro Rules!"

We’ve gotten really spoiled with him both offensively and defensively.

BBTN has decided Ichiro is WebGem #2.

Santana deflecting a ball to David Wright who throws out the runner gets no. 1.

One was saffron colored and the other an irridescent striped number.

I’m not sure I would want to see anyone wearing them in real life, but on tv they were so … shiny.

Obligatory Ichiro quote from Jim Street

“Almost the entire stadium didn’t have a good view of that play,” the Mariners right fielder said after making a sliding catch near the tarp along the first-base line at Kauffman Stadium. “I did catch the ball, but even if I didn’t, I probably could have scooped the ball up and said, ‘Hey I caught it,’ and probably no one would have known about it.”

The look on Ichiro's face is great in slo-mo...

There’s a moment that just looks like he’s thinking “Holy crap, I can’t believe I didn’t kill myself there!” I think that’s the least confident I’ve ever seen him appear.
