I want Ichiro to play baseball eternally.

Ichiro is one of the greats. It takes genius to develop a set of skills to the level he did and to stick with his game. Could he have hit 20-30 home runs? Probably. But that would have taken away the drive for a certain kind of perfect that is uniquely Ichiro. I'm glad he holds the single-season hit record. It's the most fitting record to define what his career has meant to MLB. That's not to take away from the other skills he possesses-- sparkling defense and uncanny base-running. But like Ted Williams, Ichiro is a maestro with a bat.

Simply put Ichiro is a classic contact hitter, a excellent offensive player, a great defensive outfielder. Overall a good baseball player.

What would be nice is for one day that he is also called a "team-player" and "leader" as well. While there is much to be admired about his work ethic and abilities and there is no doubt to his records and accomplishments he has never been referred to as either.
Hopefully as he enters his twilight years of being a player, he learns to mentor and lead younger players to greatness.
Many believe that the only reason he still plays is for personal glory and to surpass Pete Rose's all time hits record, plus get 3,000 MLB hits.

from Seattle, NYC to Miami, Now he can say that he has played on every corner of the USA!! yes but he spent too long in Seattle, now i doubt he`ll get a chance to win a world series. which is one of his goals going over to the majors in the first place

If his true goal was to play for a contender and not personal glory he would have left Seattle years and years ago.
