My favorite Ichiro moment is when he walked off Mariano Rivera on the first pitch of the AB in '09, for his first MLB walkoff homerun! And it was a 2-run come from behind homerun with 2 outs!

[@fiercedeitylink2019]

mariano also only allowed five such walk-off home runs his entire career

[@bluescreenfree]

Me too. I like that it sort of proves that he had that power and could utilize it when necessary.

[@Azeria]

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.

[@Junker101.]

Genuinely amazed that I've never heard about that Ichirio throw to Olerud. Another masterpiece by my favorite musician that's also a part time baseball content creator

[@nomorefielders]

Don’t forget occasional TJ Friedl stan

[@shiftygypsy89migh41]

Ichiro is absolutely top 3 of my favorite players. He was a blast to watch and fun to listen to.

[@GForce85731]

Been a Mariners fan since the Dorktown doc, really got me into baseball. Now I’m a die hard Ichiro, KGJ, and Randy Johnson fan

[@trealville23]

Who isn’t. 3 amazing players that are way to easy to fall in love with. Baseball for the win brother

[@justmaxproductions]

my favorite Ichiro moment was his running catch to rob Albert Pujols of extra bases and preserving Jamie Moyer's 1-2-3 inning in the 2003 All Star Game

Best bat to ball hitter of all time I’m so glad I got to watch ichiro play in his prime awesome vid man

[@michaelcornwall]

Couldn't get back to sleep so I'm smoking a joint, which made the intro to the video extra hilarious. Great work as always, keep it up!

I’ll take every opportunity I can to share bizarre commercials I find from the early 2000s

Talk about picking your spots. Ichiro knew exactly how the last AB was gonna end. Hats off for the vid always two thumbs up.

[@nomorefielders]

Wish I could give this comment 2 thumbs up, but a heart will have to do

[@BsedMan-if6tb]

Bro the part with ichiro cursing was hilarious

[@jonathanmartin3767]

As a Cleveland fan, I had the opportunity to see Ichiro numerous times live. He was alot of fun to watch. He was entertaining.

[@neoneyes3913]

As a twins fan, I really need you guys to lose a game or two. Pretty please.

“Helling for a shelling” that’s called bars

[@Hananotaka]

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

[@noahwagner3015]

[@SeanZheng-w8o]

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

[@nomorefielders]

Damn the biggest insecurities I had while making this video was accidently butchering the Japanese language either vebally or in writing. Noted. Thank you for turning this into a learning moment and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Just casually calling someone a pedo off hand really caught me off guard. Who are we talking about? The context provided did nothing to help.

I thought it was pretty clear it was Omar Vizquel, who was accused of sexually assaulting a bat boy with autism before reaching a settlement out of court.

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

[@SgtHolton]

The funny part about Ichiro's 2001 MVP is that he wasn't even the best player on the Mariners that year and was barely a top-5 guy in the AL West. But the story was too cool, so he got it.

[@kimmethyazzie2548]

I saw him play in Albuquerque a while back against the Rockies in an exhibition game and he was a total asshole. He would not sign autographs. Fug him.
