@@roberthudson1959 do you really think babe Ruth was a good outfielder? He might be a good hitter but the best outfielder goes to players who could hit and field at all star levels
@@stonerbellinger8679 From what I have read, Ruth was considered an above-average outfielder. His offensive superiority over his peers is greater than their defensive superiority over him, so I consider him the best rightfielder of all time.
Damn imagine if Seattle brought in Ichiro around 95-99 and Ken Griffey Jr and Ichiro were teammates. 2 gold glove outfielders on the same team; 1 leading off and batting .350; 1 hitting 45+ homers. That would've been insane!
These are two of my favorite players that I've watched. This video just shows how classy both guys are and how much respect they have for each other. Greatness recognizing greatness. I'm a life long Yankees fan and both have done well against them, but doesn't stop me from being a fan of both. And was ecstatic when Yankees got Ichiro for a little while and we got to see how great a player he is even when he wasn't at his peak. Would have loved to have seen Griffey in pinstripes just like his dad was.
So cool seeing the swings matched up. You can tell that they have two different goals in the way they swing: Ichiro knew his job was a leadoff, and to put pressure on the bases hence his emphasis on slapping the ball into the gap. Griffey is all power with a clean follow-through; you know exactly what he’s trying to do. 2 legends and my 2 favourite players.
Ichiro Manifested playing with the Mariners way before him and Griffey first met in 1995. It was embedded into his Brain that he wanted to be just like his Hero Jr.
I might take heat for this, but if I had to choose one of them to be on my team I would choose Ichiro. He has more ways to beat you than any player who has ever played.
I'll give ANYONE $100.00 to see them make this same catch from 3:45 to 3:50...the sun was in his face and he did not know where in the hell the ball could be..but he hit the wall, made the catch and held on!
Ichiro. There’s a lot of players that were like Jr. throughout the history of Baseball, but nobody could do what Ichiro did. Most of the time people will be a hall of famer for excelling at one or two things, or being above average at everything. Ichiro excelled in every aspect of the game except for extra base hits, and even then, it’s been argued that he could easily have become a slugger, but wouldn’t have be as valuable as a lead off batter; he was playing in the steroid era, and there were already too many power hitters, so he perfected his role as lead-off instead.
Kevin C “Ichiro excelled in every aspect of the game except for extra base hits”. Griffey excelled in every aspect of the game period. There was nothing he didn’t do well. He had consecutive seasons with 56 HRs, 4 consecutive seasons with at least 48 HRs, and 7 seasons with at least 40. He drove in more runs, scored more runs had a much higher OPS, and won 10 consecutive gold gloves. The only things Ichiro did better were hit singles and steal bases, but Griffey was still a .300 hitter in his prime and had great speed. Griffey was better, and it wasn’t close.
I don't know what's more crazy the fact that Seattle had to Future Hall of Famers or that they both played the beginning years of their Pro days will the team that definitely did not deserve them I'm not even trying to go on that I'm a Mariners fan it's like how the fuck can you have so much talent on one team and not get the World Series Win
Seattle so lucky to have the 2 greatest outfielders to ever play
Two great outfielders, but have you ever heard of Willie Mays and George Ruth?

@@roberthudson1959 he is not but if you say so
Robert Hudson you’re considered the best at your position as long as you can field and hit that’s what I think at least
Griffey: "Thanks for making this kid's dream come true."
ちょっと涙がぽろぽろですよ。素敵な友達ですね。
This brought a tear to my eye. What a great friendship.
I crying and sad. I love them
I love ichiro suzuki
Also I love the channel
ICHIRO ❤️

Ichiro
A-Rod
Griffey
Edgar
SP: Randy Johnson

Joey Cora, Tino Martinez/Paul Sorrento weren't slouches either
兄貴と慕ったJr

The 2 greatest Mariners of all time
So this is all about how man can cry, this got me.
Almost makes me wanna cry. Times were so different 🥲

Ichiro: "Have you actually worn this?"
Jr: *nods
Ichiro: *intense sniffing*
憧れの選手に並んで今やシアトルの英雄だから本当にすごい。
That's bromance. Two grown men having fun
2 awesome legends and HOFers.
just a couple of bro's having a great time playing a game they both loved.
The greatest power hitter of all time and the greatest contact hitter of all time
Bruh absolute legends
Omg this made me so happy!
"Hey...uh...by the way.... I put glue on your chair" walks off.
(Sighs)"......of course you did."
gorgeous video, well done
They BOTH will for ever be in the HOF ...soon !
Two giants!.Love em both..But If I had to pick just one..I would pick Ichiro..

イチロー憧れの人よね
All your videos are incredible :)
One is a legend, the other is Ken Griffey Jr.
There's An Tier Of GOAT Outfielders Ken Griffey Jr. Is Tier S
@@futuregohan4837and Ichiro is GODTIER above S
Ichiro ❤️
My all time 2 favorite baseball players of all time. Go Mariners
Im not crying😭
Love how ichiro calls griffey his hero, even tho he’s just as well respected
兄弟共に伝説か
I might take heat for this, but if I had to choose one of them to be on my team I would choose Ichiro. He has more ways to beat you than any player who has ever played.
I could not agree more. KGJ was a terrific player, but Ichiro? He was the world's skinniest beast!
It's a wash for me. But I'll lean towards Ichiro as well. However, if Jr. Did not have injury issues, he would have destroyed records lol.
I would pick ichiro just based on longevity...
I love Ichiro but prime Griffey Jr. all the way. Golden glove, mvp, 50 hr... If they could have played together from the start...
Let alone Ichiro’s bunting and base stealing...
I WAS STUNNED WHEN I SAW THIS VIDEO I HAD NO IDEA KGJR MET ICHIRO PRIOR TO 2001 🤯🤯🤯 ITS LIKE HE WAS PASSING THE TORCH TO ICHIRO
3:11 i don't know why but that clip always makes me die
He's a ninja of baseball.
イチロー×Ken Griffey Jr＝最強
Absolute greatness
I'll give ANYONE $100.00 to see them make this same catch from 3:45 to 3:50...the sun was in his face and he did not know where in the hell the ball could be..but he hit the wall, made the catch and held on!
Two classy Ball Players !!!
ケングリ.jrが好きで、メジャー行く前に会いに行ったんだもんね。引退時、ケンjrも来てたしさ。個人的に、イチローが外国人になってわかったことの話だけど、jrも、涙してたD.ゴードン、その他外国人選手たちの大変さって、アメリカという国では重いんだと思う。だからこそ、余計に、イチローって偉大だなと思う。国も人種も超えたところまでいったんだから。そして、その位置で、他人への配慮の大切さを語るのだから。イチローの精神が裾野へ広がっていくよね。
Seattle mariners will always
be my team and griffey jr and
Ichiro will always be the greatest of all-time
Makes me sad they didn't play that whole decade together.
Seattle made a mistake in keeping Arod over Griffey. Griffey would have had better chemistry with Ichiro and wouldn't upset any team balance.
The kid and ichiro, wish they played together with arod too, put down 200 RBI for JR and maybe best 2-3-4 hitters ever, we can only imagine. Myo my
Anyone else here after the new episode of the Jon Bois Mariners Series
and I think ken was in Japan to see him go too.

Great video...you should rename it "BFFs Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro Suzuki"
THE JOHNiVERSE Jr BFF was and still is Jay Buener.

You mean 2 future Hall of F.?? .... Fuck off bitch..
Ken Griffey Jrからichiro、そしてゴードンへ。

Seattle, you lucky bastards.
I don't know if they are lucky or cursed.

Go back to watching wrestling. Holy shit.
