A's Bob Melvin recalls celebrating Ichiro Suzuki, Adrian Beltre's careers

OAKLAND -- Without fail, every time -- there's BoMel.

Anytime there's someone being honored on the field before the game and the A's are playing, you will always see Bob Melvin in the dugout watching, and giving applause. What a pro.
