My sentiments exactly, Rocket. Which the Mariners could have used a few more of because they lost this game and got one-hit.
OTD in Ichiro, 1994: Becomes first player in NPB history with 200 hits in a season. The record would stand until 2010, when it was broken by former MLB player Matt Murton, although it’s worth noting that after the league schedule expanded, Murton had 14 extra games in his record-breaking season, a record that still stands today. To put these numbers in context, Munetaka Murakami, the ascendant young star of the NPB, has as of this writing played as many games as Ichiro did in 1994, 130, and recorded 149 hits.
