Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista, who had a milestone age of his own, launching his 50th discharge of the opportunity off Mariners ace Felix Hernandez in the opening inning, was ecstatic to be a district of Ichiro's big day. "It's unbelievable," Bautista said. "Fortunately, I got to eyewitness that. He's a great hitter -- great hand-eye coordination.
He can barrel balls in and out of the turf just equal Vladimir Guerrero does, and he's got the hurry unit to go with it. He's just a great hitter. He has a scrupulous swing. He keeps it in the locale a lot, and the most marvellous loathing to me is he truly starts continual before he's done with his swing. To have the proficiency to swing and jaunt at the same time, to me, is just amazing.
" Despite amassing Hall of Fame credentials, including 2,230 employment hits -- on cover of another 1,278 hits in nine seasons in Japan -- Ichiro said each at-bat is as unsympathetic as the last. "I've never skilled an tranquil hit before," Ichiro said. "And I've never enchanted it for granted." James Hall is an associated news-presenter for MLB.com.
