Ichiro Goes to the Moon
Quelle: Spotify
When Ichiro broke the "Japanese Position Player Line" and started his major league career with both Rookie of the Year and MVP honors, it looked to start a huge influx of Japanese players to the U.S. Many have come, and some have made a mark, but the truth is, there is no other like Ichiro, from Japan or any other country. With his style, discipline and respect for the game, I believe he's been a beacon of light for Seattle and baseball in general. And I firmly believe he can do anything he sets his mind to.
He'll have a seven course meal that Yumiko his wife prepares, and for his second stomach two ice cream bars and six chocolate éclairs. By day he builds a spaceship; it's got a periscope and hatch. At night he might go 5 for 5, with a patented sliding catch. For those who haven't worshipped yet, must resort to bowing soon. There'll be nothing left to prove, when Ichiro goes, Ichiro goes to the moon.
At age 40 he'll turn to pitching with a fastball that hits 95, a knuckler that defies gravity, a curve with a 12 to 6 dive. Don't put him on a pedestal; just treat him with respect. He seeks but his own approval, and earns all that he gets. There'll be another curtain call, a spacesuit in the trophy room. And I won't be surprised at all, when Ichiro goes, Ichiro goes to the moon.
