In case you missed it, Ichiro announced before today’s game that he will retire after the game. It was a bittersweet moment for him, the players, and the fans but fitting that he played his last game where it all started.
In Mariners News...
- Ichiro, you are a legend. Thank you and congrats on an outstanding career. Next stop, Cooperstown.
