The big news this morning, as actual baseball happens across the Pacific, is that today’s game in Japan is Ichiro’s last. The former ROY, MVP, 10x All-Star and 10x Gold Glove is retiring in front of a packed house in Tokyo. What a career.
One final goodbye for a legend.

There will never be anyone like Ichiro. A truly singular figure who conquered two leagues, two countries and the hardest game in the world.
