Yesterday, Ichiro became the first player in major league history to reach 200 hits in nine straight seasons.
JR Shinjuku station
I was thrilled and got goose bumps when Ichiro broke the George Sisler's single-season record of 257 hits and set a new record 'No. 258 'on October 1, 2004. Once again I realized the greatness of Ichiro yesterday.
There is no doubt about that he is one of the best players in the world and has already become a legend.
I want to see Ichiro play at the ballpark again. I used to go to see every game that Seattle Mariners came to play against Toronto Blue Jays at Sky Dome in Toronto when I lived there.
I was completely riveted by every movement of Ichiro and actually I did not pay attention to other players, nor care about the scores.
Ichiro has the charisma and his performance is charismatic.
Above all, Ichiro is 'professional' and I admire his mental strength and efforts.
This is a short notice ... I will be transferred to work at Sakura Hotel Ikebukuro starting from tomorrow.
Sayonara ...
