Congratulations, Ichiro

Said Geoff Baker on his blog:

We've been at the park for 10 hours and counting now and we aren't going anyplace. When history's on the line, you can count on us to be there.

It's a good thing you can count on them because you sure as hell can't count on us. Life kept me away from the games today, just as it's kept me away from a bunch of games lately and just as it's going to keep me away from much of the next week, but the coolest thing about Ichiro is that, while I missed him breaking Wee Willie Keeler's record today, I'll probably get to watch him break his own record next September. And I think that says just about everything that needs to be said.

Way to go, little dude.

I still can't believe he got 262 hits in a season

that’s a holy fuckton of hits

I hope he breaks Rose's record for total 200-hit seasons

Only 2 more to go! I’d say it’s likely but not a sure thing…hopefully the injuries go away or at least don’t get any worse next season.

“To get to enjoy this with these teammates I have, and especially that guy over there makes me very joyful,” Ichiro said.

We've been able to enjoy a few incredible baseball players in Seattle...

…the one who save baseball in Seattle, the one who threw “Mr. Snappy”, the one who has the DH award named after him, that steroid guy who makes more money than God, and the guy known only by his first name. ICHIRO is hands down my favorite Mariner. He is the most awesome baseball player in the game today, tomorrow, and in my future as a fan.
