Well, we hate to say we told you so, BUT, Ichiro is the finest player in all of the Major League. An inside the park home run which alluded none other that Ken Griffey JR himself is so ironic on one sie and landmark in other. One hero of the Mariners forced to tip his hat to the new hero of Seattle; Ichiro!

Obviously, it will now be up to the Japanese ownership to put up the big bucks to keep Ichiro which is has to be a done deal in their mind (no news in the paper yet) Now, do we try to draw back Jr to play DH and take this team to the next level? I say yes. Griffey’s menacing hip issue will decrease by not playing the field everyday and he can get the applause and the love he has missed over 8 years in Cincy.

To be continued……
