![I.N "HALLUCINATION" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/n5B5q1Hwt_U/mqdefault.jpg)
Ichiro is the greatest baseball player i have gotten to see with my eyes
Better than Shohei?
Edgar was better
@@brandonow82 Edgar was a DH and was a better power hitter but Ichiro was a better fielder, thrower and also a better hitter and ran around the bases.
I agree with you. The year he broke the hits in a season record was an exciting historic moment
@@brandonow82HAHAHA
Total class act! Humble and respectful of the game, a truly good human being.
I remember my first mariners game he hit a lead off homer and he hit a triple in bottom of the 7th was his triple he went from home to third base in 10 seconds I kid you not. My opinion he is my all time greats my favorite ball player him swinging the bat looked effortless. Master with his craft. So proud of this man for what he did in the community as well. A lot of trips to the children’s hospital.
I flew out from San Diego to Seattle twice just to watch him play at home. It was so worth it
Ichiro is AWESOME! So excited that he made it. He deserves it so much.
Consummate artist.
You hear people talking about “respect for the game” all the time; well here it is, personified in the form of Ichiro Suzuki.
I, too, vividly remember Ichiro visiting Sisler's gravesite. I thought it was the classiest gesture I have ever heard of. I don't care what anyone says, I think Ichiro is truly the GOAT, of all eras. His records speak for themselves, while his humility and grace are peerless.
He made running to first base a must watch everytime he's up to bat and made incredible laser accurate throws from the right field.
exactly, watching running to first base has never been more interesting than when ichiro was at bat.
the dude was almost a third of the way down the first base line before he even finished his swing. it was amazing.
Ichiro Suzuki, Ken Griffey, Jr. Felix Hernandez, Randy Johnson…I miss those Mariners.
I still remember the hilarious 'two rats in a sock' joke from the first time Costas interviewed Ichiro 20+ years ago!
The funny thing is that Bob Costas mentioned it with Ichiro in interview on MLB Network the afternoon he got elected to Hall of Fame. He reminded him of that moment and then Ichiro said he regretted saying that
Born and raised in Kansas City, I can attest, August is a swelter. 😉
Absolute CLASS of a man. The single missing vote doesn't matter. As long as Ichiro is at peace with it, it's all good. Can't wait to hear his speech in Cooperstown.
WOW! What a GREAT interview! It shows the class that eminates from Ichiro! It also shows the precision that he brought to the game. He has great wit and Costas does another fine job! Thanx!
Wow, the first Japanese baseball player ever to go to the MLB hall of fame, congratulations ichiro.
Ichiro is/was a man of discipline, perfectly fitting the image of a samurai with his bats being his katana swords. But, he was also a ninja, (as a right fielder) catching and throwing in an incredible way, and (as an on-base runner) stealing bases like a lightning bolt. Ichiro was an incredible 3-in-1 package highly unlikely to be seen again.
It’s very rare that a player goes into the HOF with a MLB record in their back pocket.
I cannot wait for the definitive biography of Ichiro to hit the bookshelves. That book has to be written.
イチロー選手、日米野球殿堂入りおめでとう御座います🎉👏🏽
Ichiro became a member of both America and Japan National Baseball Hall of Fame.
So happy for him as a Japanese.
I love his sense of humor a lot😍
Especially his T-Shirts on the way to training and games.
So hilarious.
Hope he’ll enjoy Baseball much more than his player days.
Ichiro has been a great gift to the game of baseball. I am grateful that fans all over the world have gotten the chance to watch his incredible talent. He is a consummate professional, humble, dedicated, focused, and polite, and I hope he enjoys his well-earned retirement and his inclusion into the Baseball Hall Of Fame.
イチローは野球界にとって素晴らしい贈り物でした。世界中のファンが彼の素晴らしい才能を観る機会を得られたことに感謝しています。彼は完璧なプロであり、謙虚で、献身的で、集中力があり、礼儀正しい人物です。彼が十分に得た引退と野球殿堂入りを楽しんでくれることを願っています。
He has such great respect for the game and the players past and present. This can't be said for a lot of others. I'm looking at you.....
When I saw Ichiro in person at first time,he was 19.I had no idea then how big he was going to grow after decades.
He was the superstar of the superstars in Japan before coming to the major league. Imagine if he spent his entire career in the major league, there would be more unbreakable records he made.
There can't be a person on this earth ( except for one voter) who doesnt think Ichiro deserves it 100 percent. How great it was to watch him play.
His respect for the game is just next level! What a way to live a life, accomplished so much, and with no regrets!
Ichiro Suzuki was my favorite baseball player growing up! I was a left handed hitter as well. Going to Mariners games back when he was a rookie was amazing I still have the Ichiro book that was given to kids his rookie year at Safeco. This is the most obvious pick for the hall of fame ever. The way he would switch his stance then hit homeruns. Throw out players who were known for base stealing at 3rd and even 1st was incredible to watch. His fundamentals and eye cordination were so far above a lot of players and his lead off hitting inspired the fans and the Mariners line-ups everytime he made contact. He was a contact hitter during the "steroids" era, but instead of conforming he just stuck to the fundementals. A truly inspiring baseball player and a legend of the sport. Congratulations Ichiro Suzuki Arigato thank you for an amazing childhood of cheering for the M's! Shoutout bret borne EDGARRR John (3rd base) and Shiggy too!
I miss speed and defense in baseball. Ichiro was awesome.
One of the greatest Mariners ever.
I have watched this guy forever and hands down Mr Hustle. 💯 every play
誰がなんと言おうと俺の中では永遠のスーパーヒーロー
Years ago when an Ichiro display had his jersey, hat & bat in Cooperstown , Japanese press showed up to report it. His induction will be crazy.🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
A true treasure to the game.
Simply put had Ichiro came over when he was say 21 he wouldve obliterated Pete Rose’s hit record. Dude was a 27 yr old rookie and still got well over 3000 hits in the majors
Look at that swing.
American batters treat the bat like a club or a hammer.
Ichiro used his bat like a paint brush, spraying hits to wherever the canvas was empty. What a legend!
Bro was batting leadoff when they won 116 games as a rookie, if Ichiro had a bad year they don't do as well. In fact there might have been a small possibility they wouldn't have made the playoffs if Ichiro struggled, thats how important a solid leadoff man is💯
There are people out there who believe that Ichiro's teammate, Bret Boone should have been MVP in 2001. There's no way Boone comes anywhere close to his .333/37/141 season without Ichiro hitting leadoff. That's why he was MVP.
The most impeccable and beautiful ball-player I know
bro look like he been crying tears of joy for literally days!
He is class PERSNONFIED. My favorite athlete ever.
Pure class act.
No entiendo su language pero se ve que es un gran ser Humano❤
😢 I miss you lchiro is good
Go Ichiro ❤️ I loved seeing you when I was a kid!
Costas gracefully stepped away from play-by-play, and with great precision returned to what he does best. He’s been spot-on with the Hall of Fame coverage.
Will Bob be part of the Baseball HoF ?
The #2 all-time hits king!
A great example of Japanese work ethic with being a serious student of the game to a master of it. Ichiro Suzuki is an awesome player who is much respected and well deserving to be a Hall of Famer!
It's too bad he never got a WS ring. It should have been a unanimous vote.
Ichiro is the last samurai, philosopher, and magician.
The top tier pro baseball GOAT for hits.
Legend ❤
Now all the baseball writers should be required to watch this video
Can you publish this video again without the interpreter voicing over Ichiro? Love his voice and I understand Japanese...
No.
I hope they do too.
Full circle interview with Costas!!
i nominate ichiro to tutor ohtani about speaking to the press :) ichiro is one of a kind, an amazing man.
Can’t wait to hear his speech in English!💪🏽
Ichiro is awesome and one day I will go to Japan. 😀👍
He's going to give his speech in English. What an incredible athlete and human being.
So disgusting that he wasn’t unanimous. This is the baseball Hall of Fame not the MLB Hall of Fame. This is the all-time hits king, he’s never had a scandal, always been respectful, why wouldn’t he be unanimous? Only reason I can think of is somebody wanted Ohtani to be the first unanimous Japanese player or Mo to be the only one
Japan is the minor leagues compared to mlb. That's why he hit 40 points higher in Japan. Sorry honey pete is all time hits leader and will always be.
You can make the argument that home run records in Japan don’t equate to home run records in MLB because of the smaller park sizes in Japan, but hits are a different story. It’s still the same 60’6” from the pitcher’s rubber to home plate and the same 90 feet between the bases. For a contact/slap hitter like Ichiro the only real difference is that the pitchers throw harder over here but they have nastier stuff in Japan.
Anyone wanting to call him “professional baseball’s hit king” has a good argument to make.
With Shohei a shoo in for first ballot HOF already, it’s quite an accomplishment for two Japanese born players to potentially be first ballot hall of famers given the low percentage that that demographic represents. Stats aside, the excitement they have brought to the game is what stands out.
His skin is glowing. What is his secret
Ichiro had an incredible run as an mlb player. Deserves the induction and really hope the writer that snubbed him gets annoyed in his sleep by barking dogs and noisy crickets.
Divine Wind
He can speak English but he still speak Japanese at the formal interview as this show. Alan Turner, long time interpreter, is always by his side as Ichi has respected the professionalism of Alan.
However, in July, he will give his speech in English as same as he did so when he became hall of famer of Mariners.
I thought he did a good job in English with his speeches at T-Mobile
He does speak English at least at a conversational level, I'm not sure about fluently, but man I think I know why he chose Japanese for this one when you look back at some of his funnier English interviews 😂
There's a difference between preparing a speech and rehearsing it in English, and answering spontaneous questions in English without any (or much) forewarning about what's coming your way, and then having to produce coherent answers in your second language. Yes, he's good at English but as he said, it's not easy to do interviews like this even in one's native language.
@ yeah I was referring to when he said he wouldn’t do his hof speech in English
@@hanshintigersenglishnews He's been in the country for 25 years, come on
@@didoma73
You come on. Better yet, go on.
もしも、この世が喜びばかりなら人は決して勇気と忍耐を学ばないでしょう！才能の8割は体力である！アイデアの秘訣は執念である！笑われて、笑われて、強くなる！
Is there a video of this without the English voiceover?
Does muting and turning on closed captions help ?
subtitle is probably much better instead.. I'd rather here Ichiro speaking
Ichiro might be the first japanese-born player inducted into the Hall of Fame, but he certainly won't be the last.
I like Ichiro because he doesn’t dye his hair like bob costas!
What jackass didn’t vote for this guy to be in the Hall of Fame on the first ballot?😂😂😂😂😮😮😮
There have been 51 comments so far. I make it 52, I can't resist. Sorry!
I assume he just doesnt care to speak english? Noway ich didnt learn english haha he trollin! Congrats to him man
I feel bad for Ichiro and for everybody who is interested in these interviews.
What he is saying is incredibly deep even in Japanese, but his translator is (always) doing a subpar job.
At the very least the translator should try to do a direct translation, even that he is failing to do.
There was one point where he said there was “giron” or debate over whether he could make it in the league. It was pretty obvious that he meant “other people doubted me” but his translator said “I doubted myself.” I was a bit shocked to hear that translation, since it was so different than what I heard when he spoke Japanese
その場で通訳してるのを動画の編集で重ねてるだけで、あとから動画用に訳し直したりしてないこと考えるとこの通訳はよくこのスピードでやってるよ。一平とは比べられないくらい
I was going to say, why does it sound like the translator is stuttering and stumbling over his words? It’s not even live video it’s a voiceover!! He could’ve checked his work and done multiple takes!!!
Do you really think it was a voiceover ? I am pretty sure this is what the editor did and translation was on time in the interview. Otherwise how did the interview go without it…
@@miyasugu1 I agree completely. Surely they do not have the time or budget to re-record translations, either. Not saying money is a problem, but when time is of the essence, it makes sense to go with the interpreter's original 80-90% accurate translation, rather than waste everyone's time to compensate for the 10-20% he might have gotten partially wrong.
Stud ! Just a stud , and an amazing human !
Who is that one idiot didn't vote for this legend!???!
The Japanese exceed at everything, including being human
So, Suzukisan, how disrespected did you feel, hitting EIGHTH for the New York Yankees?
The one guy or gal that didn't vote for Ichiro really needs to turn over their voting privileges to someone with more respect for the game.
do the writers who voted know who didn’t vote for Ichiro ?
Maybe not the writers themselves know, but someone knows, just like the Epstein files...
Allen sounds like he’s losing his voice from all the translating
LOL... I love Ichiro... but c'mon man. That dude speaks perfectly fluent english.
I wish he would speak English in an interview for once; he's been in the country for 25 years already, come on now. I understand him wanting to be precise in his native language, but it's pointless if his interpreter isn't also precise.
He literally explains in it this interview you clown lol
No thanks to Nomo? Without Nomo, Ichiro never goes to the U.S.
Come on Ichiro we all know you can speak English! 😁
In Kansas city..
Japanese professionals prefer to speak Japanese in interviews as it is their mother tongue and they feel more comfortable speaking it, and they want their Japanese fans to understand it as well
I love Ichiro but it’s pretty insane to be in the US for nearly 25 years and not be able to do an interview in English.
Like you could speak Japanese fluently. I was bilingual for most of my life, now I can barely remember my first language.
I'm sure he has mastered the saltier parts of the language
Costas makes it clear he could do the interview in English but for this HoF interview Ichiro wanted to be as exacting and clear as possible without any awkward language or confusions due to English not being his first language and possibly distracting from what he wanted to say. He chose not to.
Ask him what he thinks about Koreans.
We already know lol
That's where the non-vote came from. Deservedly.
I love Ichiro. But to be honest his desire to not speak Engligh annoys the shit out of me. He speaks perfect Eng,lish.
Great player. What I don’t understand with Ichiro and other Japanese players is why they have never fluent English to speak it comfortably. He played almost 20 years in the US, and virtually every student in Japan takes several years of English in school. Players from Europe and elsewhere come to North America to play in the NHL in NBA and learn to speak English. Is there a reason why Japanese speakers have such a difficult time learning English? Actually a serious question as am curious.
Perhaps it's self confidence.
Learned everything about baseball history, but somehow didn't learn to speak English?
He speaks good English. He is VERY concerned about not embarrassing himself, his country, or his family, by making verbal gaffes that could happen if he did interviews in english.
Still haven't learned English in all this time.guess you don'tneed it when check is automatically deposited.still a one dimensional hitter,no playoff wins.damee
Ichiro still can't speak English for interviews?
I respect his baseball accomplishments, but bruh over 20 years of living and working in US 🤦🤦🤦
No. He can. He choses not to.
ruclips.net/video/qyXMeQkvX9A/видео.htmlsi=aJHpYz-mJyZXGMeU
Bobs a complete tool box.
Ichiro has a great potential.So getting hall of fame is normal.
Why can't he speak english? He played the most American of sports and doesn't even have the respect to learn the language.
He doesn't want to be misunderstood.
