All the love and respect for a first ballot Hall of Famer and one of the greatest players in the history of the game... period. Top 5 without a doubt. Best right fielder ever. And the greatest hitter we've ever seen. What a pleasure to watch his brilliance as a young man growing up in Washington as a Seattle Mariners fan.
10 straight years of 200+ hit seasons. Never been done before. Probably never be done again.
Thank you Mariners for showing respect to Japanese legends Ichiro, Matsuzaka and Ohtani.
Maybe the Greatest Baseball Player Ever! There was nothing this Man could not do on a Diamond.....
The greatest 5 tool player of all time. He was great at everything.
I got'chu!

Buhner with the Costas/Ichiro interview callback! Noice.
There is no Ohtani without Ichio.
This is no exaggeration.
I had the distinct honor of being flipped off on the I-90 floating bridge by Jay Buhner.
His acceptance speech (which he read in English) was full of humor, honor, respect, and inspiration. It is hard to remember that a man who casts such a huge shadow in baseball is so slight of stature. His remarks included that even in Japan, because of his size, there were many who doubted he could really perform.
In 2004, when he was closing in on George Sisler's single-season record of 257 hits, I made a banner which I took to the stadium. It was a sort of acrostic. It said, "Ichiro is our Sizzler" referring both to his hot hitting and George Sisler.
I chi ro
u
Sizzler
The Capital 'I' was large and so was the capital 'S', so they touched each other and the 'S' was the Mariners' compass logo. Read vertically, the "is" was on the left, and the "our' was on the right.
That's an awesome sign! I absolutely loved his speech. His roast of Jamie Moyer was especially hilarious and endearing.
That's awesome seeing greats even non Mariners congratulating ichiro it's well deserved and next major stop NY baby!;
Thanks for posting this. It was hard to read the subtitles on live TV
Ichiro inducted into Mariners Hall of Fame, looking forward to MLB Hall of Fame
Great video
mariners legend and should be first ballot HOF
Griffey met Ichiro in 95?! Wow never would have guessed they've been friends that long.
There's a video of the first time Ichiro came to the US and he was having dinner with Griffey and Ichiro also met Michel Jordan.
Ichiro's admiration for MLB came from Griffey, and he felt it extra when he first met him in 1995.
@@Knuckle_Pitcher Imagine being so cool that you inspire a kid from across the world who doesn't speak your language to come play in your league, and then like 35 years later that kid's in the Hall of Fame with you.
@@ErikHinrichsen I get excited just thinking about it!
There's a segment in the Jon Bois documentary on the history of the Seattle Mariners that talks about this. He lays it out as a sort of butterfly effect wherein even though Griffey requested the trade to go home to Cincinatti and left Seattle, he did, in a way, leave the Mariners a gift: Ichiro. He was inspired to join the Mariners because of his admiration of Junior.
The reverence & respect that the Japanese ball players speak to & about Ichiro says VOLUMES !
"we went to Benihana" lmao!
thatd be like taking an American player to McDonalds in Japan
How long until he’s in Cooperstown?
Next year
Way to honor him and all the Mariner HOF’ers last night with the most unacceptable hitting performance we’ve had to get used to as die hard fans of the cheapest and least competitive front office who’s paying the price for trying to win a World Series with the 6th lowest payroll in baseball by embarrassing every Mariner legend and Mariner community member with performances last night.
Are you done yet
@@MattyVYT I mean they have a point
We did take 3/4 from Cleveland and now have swept Detroit as we should. Luckily the bats showed up there, but we do need to hit better. Loosing 2/3 against both Texas and Oakland is unacceptable. At least management was willing to spend on Robbie Ray and Luis Castillo and now Julio; they also quietly extended JP. Hopefully they're willing to extend Haniger.
