Nice article but your statistics about Ichiro are wrong. He had 262 hits in 2004, which set a new major league. Not 256 as you stated in this article.

Wasn’t it Hideki Irabu’s contract being purchased by the Padres that more directly led to the posting system?

Nice read about Japanese baseball in the post-war years but what happened to the origins of baseball in Japan (pre-war)?

As a Mariner fan as well, it pains me to see Ichiro gone, but also to hear Dave Niehaus in the video of Ichiro highlights…

I have mixed feelings about playing baseball. I don’t mind playing on ya team. I’ll be ya pitcher, or ya batter, or play in ya outfield. Just don’t ask me to stand in that line-up, waiting to bat. I can’t stand ya queue.
