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.
- Ichiro, you are a legend. Thank you and congrats on an outstanding career. Next stop, Cooperstown.
- Now that’s pretty crazy.
- We’re not crying, you’re crying. Just kidding, we are too.
Most of the attention was on Ichiro, but Yusei Kikuchi shined in his Mariners debut in his home country.
