Some sports fans would give anything to be there for an iconic moment in the teams they root for's history. I root for the Niners, Indians, Flames and Raptors. Try not to judge me too harshly for my team choices. And sure, being there for The Catch would have been awesome, or when Kenny Lofton decided to personally murder the Seattle Mariners in the ALCS, or when the Flames won the Cup, or when Vince Carter propelled himself to superstardom at the dunk contest in 2000. But no. I'd want to be there to watch Ichiro give one of his profanity laden pep talks before all star games. I also firmly believe that if he'd started in MLB at say, 21, he'd have Rose's record, or he'd be crazy close. His average hit total per season is 189, and at 6 extra MLB seasons, that'd put him at 4,223. He'd need 34 to break it, and I think he'd hang on with that knowledge. DLC Inc posted:the fact that he basically played a full career in Japan then came over to USA and played even longer is amazing. One of the best pure players on the planet, should be voted in with 100% of the vote first year. I think Ichiro and Edgar might be two of the most-cited players that a choice few HoF pitchers, Mariano included, have said they genuinely dreaded facing. I agree about him being a 100% first ballot guy, but you are dreaming if you don't think people will abstain with excuses like "no power", "selfish singles hitter" "my dad fought in WWII".
