Ichiro

Ichiro, where did you go?
In Japan, we miss you so.
In our nation, we liked you a lot.
What does Seattle have that we haven’t got?
You thrill the crowd each time you get a hit.
The man shows the true samurai spirit.
Please Ichiro, say you will not stay.
Come back to our country right away.

Ichiro, in my opinion is the BEST player I have ever seen play the game. 200 hit every year A+ in the field very unselfish super base runner. a true master of all fundamentals, and don't forget that incredible arm. I believe he could hit 20-30 HR too if he was asked to fill that role(maybe more) . You picked a great player to write about. I sure wish the sox got him. Oh and not to mention to stay with Seattle all these years!!!! You cant ask for a more loyal player than that.
