And the legend of Ichiro grows.
I don't know if maybe someone posted this before, but i stumbled upon this nugget during my daily procrastination.
"Every year, after the AL manager addresses his team, Ichiro bursts from his locker, a bundle of kinetic energy, and proceeds, in English, to disparage the National League with an H-bomb of F-bombs, stunning first-timers who had no idea Ichiro speaks the queen’s language fluently and making returnees happy that they had played well enough to see the pep talk again."

Thanks for the link.
And yeah it’s pretty old, but it’s still good. But maybe a quick link like this would be better in a fanshot instead of its own post?

Yeah, 2007 or so?
And yes, fanshot material.
Also please use the subject line!
But other than that, welcome. I always love this story.

Haha read the whole article
There are plenty of other Ichiro gems in there
" Ichiro was asked how much he believes the speech has contributed to the AL dominance that has stretched more than a decade now.
"I’ve got to say over 90 percent," he said."
