An Ichiro Thread for his Retirement

[gracecollector]

While I don't collect Ichiro, I've admired his career, accomplishments and character. I wish him well in retirement and it was pretty cool he got to play his last game in his home country!

Let's see some Ichiro cards in honor of his amazing career both in Japan and MLB.

There will never be another like him. Glad I saw him play throughout his career.

Truly lucky to have seen him play all these years. They way he plays the game and carrys himself on and off the field is pure class!!

I'm disappointed I don't have a single one in my collection.
His career here was incredible, but I can't begin to imagine if we had his whole career in MLB. I would have really liked for him to have been a career player for the Mariners. I'm not sure why, but Seattle seems to have a significant Asian population and Ichiro was just one of those players that seems old school and should have played his whole career for one team.
