Detroit would be so good if they had a "mediocre hitter" and good defensive player at SS. This guy is garbage.

49 k's to 8 bb's Horrible hitter. Why is he still starting?????

In a general context, how the reaction would be to the 1996 AL MVP selection... don't hate on the wrong guy (Gonzalez, who was damn great at what he did best). The voters just didn't know any better about the whole matrices in statkeeping that makes it all the more (in)famous in baseball.

Lets get this straight,jackie robinson was not the first black ballplayer. 1878 was bud fowler, 1879 was william white, and 1884 was moses fleetwood walker and brother weldy walker. Get your facts straight. As far as shoeless joe your right he had the best stats for that ws. But he took the money. Now as far as pete rose goes he screwed up by not coming clean from the get go. All he had to do was admit and say he had a disease called gambling. I personally think he belongs on the HOF. believe me not everyone in the HOF is a choir boy

7:50 woa woah woahhh.. how we gonna brush right over a 12 INCH GROWTH SPURT in a year?!?! imma need a full doc on that alone 😂🥛

lol 3 giants cult heroes on one video

Ryan Roberts for the dbacks

As a pirates fan Ik all about the pain and suffering. At least you don’t have to have the 20 consecutive losing seasons all time futility mark that our franchise has. I guess the good news is we look like we’re FINALLY starting to get decent again tho. Skenes is an absolute PHENOM!!

This has not aged well I wish he would figure it out h was one of the funnest to watch

I know it's a one year old video and not many will actually care to read this comment, but Jordan actually a pretty decent stat spread when he played for the Barons in 1994 and actually took the sport seriously as he was trying to get over his father's death, as well as honor his late father apparently wanted him to be a baseball player initially. Aside from his dad dying the fact that he was feeling some burnout from basketball due to the Summer Olympics of '92 and his overall fame were also driving factors on why he swapped to baseball, but his dad's death was likely the trigger for him to shift. The biggest factor on why he probably didn't continue baseball aside from probably wanting to go back into the NBA, was due to the fact that due to the 1994 player strike occurring and it not being resolved until April 25th of 1995 , he realized he might be selected as a replacement player for the season, which probably would have tarnished his legacy a bit, and returned to the Bulls in March of 95. I will say if the strike didn't occur in 1994 there could have been a chance for Jordan to debut for the White Sox, but the only reason his brief stint in baseball occured and why he was able to return in the middle of the 94-95 season was due to the fact that Jerry Reinsdorf owned both the Bulls and the White Sox at the time, never canceled Jordan's NBA contract and owning both teams made him able to still have Jordan under contract regardless of which sport he would have stuck with.

pronounced venditte wrong. it’s ven-det-eee

American fans never really got to see the pendulum swing. Ichiro turned it into a more simple step during his last season in Japan.

He got paid and he doesn’t care. Anthony Rendon vibes

No clue how you can get worse than 61-101 but god damn the 2024 White Sox are finding a way

It looks dumpy..and ive been by it in person

foreign players in american sports arent ever their country taking over the entire sport. the entire world isnt watching anything

Even if he did take the same approach as in Chicago you have to look at what lineup he was apart of. Pitchers knew he would swing at anything but the couldn't afford to walk him with such a deep lineup so they attacked and he took advantage. On the Tigers they don't even have to enter the zone against him, if he was the same hitter in Chicago he would be better but I don't think we'd be talking about a star player.

Reliant K in the video. 10 out of 10

Home Run Championship? I always thought it was called the home run title (akin to batting title...no one calls it the batting championship)....championship makes me think of the hr derby lol

Can’t believe this channel isn’t massive yet. Instant subscribe.

Fantastic video

it’s nearly 5am and im crying in my kitchen man

another banger video as always

So hes always been like this?😂

MLBs version of flopping. You shouldn’t be duping the umps into bad calls

Ichiro is a top 5 OF of all time prolly top 3

If Vientos keeps it up, he will be the next one

quibble: the long bar in イチロー follows the direction of the writing. if it's top to bottom, the bar goes downwards. (something something, extends the prior vowel, blah blah nerd shit) good vid i enjoy watching ichiro appreciation

Phenomenal video my man. It won't be long before you get to quit that day job (if you have one). Keep it up!

Jud is Chris Paddack

“Nobody wants to see a player hit .220” it’s sad, Ichiro. Nobody cares anymore because half the league hits at a .200 clip.

Altuve and Freeman both have long shot chances of 3k hits. Could be the last players for a long time to reach that milestone

I doubt that was why, even if it’s a interesting spin.

Altuve should never be in the HOF, hes a grown man who cheated to win. Piece of shit is what he is

the astros cheated to steal a title and still haven’t vacated it. they are an illegitimate team until they vacate

The NPB saw what happened to the Negro Leagues and said "Nope! Not us!" and put something in place to protect themselves.

These 2 mfs remind me of Minus the Bear and I honestly don't know why. Sorry random thought.

You mean Altuve the cheater? HOF my A**!

Good vid

Not sure you know what “pretty good” means my man?

I can’t wait to see 51 retired in Seattle, especially given it wasn’t just worn by Ichiro but by Randy Johnson as well. It’ll look pretty damn good on that wall next to Jackie’s 42, the kid’s 24, and Edgar’s 11.

referencing A/V latency at 15:03 is a dead giveaway you’re a musician lol
