Happy Birthday Ichiro!!!
Ichiro turns 39 years old today!!
Arguably the best hitter of the decade, Ichiro Suzuki has proven to be an extremely talented contact hitter, maybe one of the best ever.
In 12 professional seasons in major league baseball, Ichiro has collected 2,600+ hits. In ten of twelve years, he has accumulated 200 or more hits in those seasons.
For his birthday, I wish Ichiro perfect health. And I want that health to hold until he gets into the 3,000 hits club. Based on his average he will need just 3 more years to accomplish that task. And while that means he will be 42 years old when that time comes, I do believe that he is conditioned to reach that mark with relative ease!!
Happy Birthday Ichiro!!!
He’s got another five years in him. Happy Birthday Ichiro!
Glad to hear someone recognize greatness. While in Seattle, people never talked about him (on the East Coast anyway), even though he was constantly slapping hits out there and putting up crazy numbers. Happy Birthday Ichiro!
