We, the Japanese people were all inspired by Ichiro, who opened up the path into MLB as a Japanese person, which we all used think was impossible. As a baseball player (though my icon is ice hockey), I would like to reply with a thank you for your support in the United States. Oh and btw, don’t mind my terrible English.

Even though he will make the Hall Of Fame easily, first ballot, he is one of the most underrated players ever. Based on his accomplishments alone in The MLB he should easily be considered a top 10 player of all time. He was a great hitter with so many hitting records, and a great fielder. Very quiet man who loved the game of baseball. If he would’ve came to the MLB sooner he could possibly even be considered the ‘Goat’.

Mariners could have simply not sign with Ichiro for 2019, but they maintained his contract so that Ichiro is honored and the Japanese fans can see the greatest hero's honorable exit. We say Japan is a country of respect, but I think this event truly showed the kindness of Americans and how they show true respect.

One of my favorite ever players. One of the most athletic players I've ever seen. Had a love and respect for the game I have rarely seen. One of the hardest working players I have ever seen. Also pure class, and nothing but a pleasure to watch. I feel like Japanese baseball officially took hold in the states when he joined the Mariners, and finally earned the respect it deserved among American baseball fans. Beloved by two nations. He will be absolutely sorely missed.

And thinking he only retired a few years ago well over the age of 40 and still with talent left in his body. This man is a legend in Japan and the USA.

For some reason, I've always felt that Ichiro plays the game as it was supposed to be played when it was first invented: put the ball in play, base running, solid defense, and occasional homeruns. Now that the game has evolved into a game of homeruns and strikeouts. It's not that I don't like homeruns. But when it becomes the primary way of scoring, baseball has become a one-dimensional game.
