Ichiro & Rangers Mascot go to Battle with Pillows
Ichiro and the Rangers Captian duke it out one last time in a pillow fight for the ages.
Ichiro is a man who needs no last name. For years, the Japanese outfielder has been terrorizing pitchers with his unique hitting style. A man with over 4,000 career hits in professional baseball is a legend, but if there is a step above that, Ichiro is there. His cannon of an arm from the outfield is also a weapon that translates well to pillow fighting.
Shown in the video is Ichiro’s nimbleness that helped him have the most infield hits in the history of baseball. At the spry age of 44, Ichiro has officially called it quits to playing baseball. It is impossible not to have at least a respect of what he has accomplished in his career. First of all, he has 3,000 hits in the MLB and had over 1,000 in Japan before he came to Seattle. His first season he won Rookie of the Year and MVP. Think about that for a second. As a rookie, he had 242 hits; it is likely no one in 2018 will get even 200. From the first time he stepped foot on the field, it was clear that no one had ever seen anyone like Ichiro.
With his 10 All-Star appearances, 10 Gold Gloves, two batting titles and ten straight seasons with over 200 hits, the most impressive part of Ichiro is his love for the game. You’d be hard pressed to catch a glimpse of the outfielder without a smile on or off the field. In his last game of many in Arlington, the Rangers Captain had had enough of his ability to beat the Rangers. The time is now to settle the score once in for all. The horse tried to bait Ichiro but by the time the dust settles, it appears that Ichiro came out victorious. We here at FanaticsView.com have mad respect for him and wish him well.
