AlfGarnett: Did I miss a meeting? I was under the impression the death penalty was abolished in the U.K. over 100 years ago???

Ichiro only cares about Ichiro. He had plenty of chances to play on a "real" major league team, but that would take the spotlight off of him and on the entire team. If he played on a better team many of his hits would not occur because there would be…
