- "Ichiro Girl" gets shocked for second time by the great Ichiro Suzuki as he is inducted into the Mariners Hall of Fame following a hilarious speech.
#Ichiro #Mariners #HallOfFame - กีฬา
Guy didn't start playing with Seattle until he was like 28 and he still got over 3000 hits! HOF awaits...
And had over 1200 hits in Japan too.
I'm glad someone pointed this out.
Greatest hitter in baseball history.
In the steroid era
@@shanedelgado666 you could make an argument for Pete Rose
12 years later and the Ichiro Girl is still hot!!❤️🔥
She looks even better now!!!!
12 years ago she’s jail bait
Motion carried
She was 17.
She kept it together.
Ichiro is the coolest baseball player I have ever seen in my entire life.
Yes. Humble and classy man.
He is the man
As a lifelong Dodgers fan, I think he’s one of the best of all time.
Coolest? Without a doubt.
The smoothest as well.
Cleveland fan, he's probably not my favorite cause he didn't play with cleveland bit he's probably, like, my favorite....🙃
As a Dodgers fan I have nothing but respect for Ichiro. One of the best to ever do it. No nonsense, great guy.
100% . If there's a pantheon in baseball, he's on it.
I dont think the doggers will win the nl this year, they have to get pass the sd and mets, that is tough.
This man is a Giant in all of baseball. At 27 Rookie of the year. He could hit and hit for power. He could run, he could catch, he could throw. For me, top 10 of all time.
So messed up Matsui didn’t get the rookie of the year but he did still mad about that as a Yankee fan that’s as straight up bs
All true except the power part
@@Starrynova When I say power, I mean he hit Home runs when needed not just for stats. Just like Roberto Clemente who only hit about 270 HR'S
Ichiro was classy and a great baseball player. My favorite. 😍
@@Starrynova
He could hit for power. He was a true hitter.
Ichiro is one of the greatest players in MLB history. Classy, professional, and loved fans and the game. He also had a special relationship with Latino players. He learned Spanish and felt a kinship with them, being a foreigner in MLB.
Agree
The girl is a true fan. Love it !
Ichiro was like the modern day Joe DiMaggio. So gracious, so humble and an all-around nice guy. A living legend.
Didn't Joe DiMaggio beat the shit out of his wives?
Example
Ichiro is a great dude 😊
@@Kathy-22they had to stuff him in a mattress due to fans when he was still in japan
Agree
OMG THIS IS SO SWEET! The most amazing fan reaction ever and they brought her back to be at his Hall of Fame night. LEGENDARY
Ichiro girl is fantastic. Genuine happiness.
He better be unanimous HoF inductee #2. I think people still don't comprehend the greatness.
I've always loved Ichiro and I think it's great that Shohei looks up to him so much. He's an amazing role model for young, Japanese players.
You can say that again!
He’s an amazing role model for any young kid tbh. Can’t say anything bad about him at all.
Everything about this man screams CLASS and PROFESSIONALISM. Lot of respect and admiration for IS. Congrats, Ichiro! Well deserved.
Classy guy
That girl is lucky ichiro is going to be a hall of famer
I’m here for ichiro girls excitement, it’s so genuine!
When I was a kid he came to my elementary school and read a story to my class. I didn't know much about baseball at the time and I remember thinking "Who's this guy with a heavy accent reading us a story?" Today, I'm thankful I had that experience since stuff like that seems unheard off now. What a phenomenal person both on and off the field.
Had an encounter with Ichiro in Las Vegas once, and it was the coolest thing ever. The guy is an All Star even off the field.
I always honor him🙏 named my son after him😊✌️
Red Sox fan, but an Ichiro fan forever. He's the best all-around player of my lifetime.
This man was a gift to the sport. Never forget him and always honor him. America owes you a debt of gratitude sir for always carrying "America's favorite past time" on your back with pride and doing justice to the sport. For being a role model to MULTIPLE generations of upcoming players, And for always being a stand up guy. America loves you Ichiro, We will honor your legend as best as we know how!
Think of it this way. Baseball was America's gift to Japan. In a country that is baseball crazy, Ichiro was an acknowledgement of thanks for that gift.
Ichiro is one of the most respected players in MLB history due to his unmatched respect for the game.
Ichiro is the man.
Her energy is contagious
I'm an A's fan, but I am an Ichiro fan forever. Truly one of the greatest of all time and impeccable character. He was so personable. As an away fan, he briefly spoke to me at Safeco during his warmup, when I asked him 日本語で about it. That little smile and nod he gave at the end was so sincere. If you could speak to him in his language, this speech was exactly the kind of glowing, glittery eyed love you got from him. ICHIRO! ありがとうございました!
I’m an A’s fan also but had deep respect for his game. We watched him in Oakland early 2000’s, my friend and I would start chanting ICHIRO when he was on the field or batting. The Japanese students in front of our seats would all turn and must have thought we were nuts since we wore A’s gear.
Hi I'm a Mariners fan..
@@TheGtagtr ‘sup Mariners fan, another A’s fan here but welcome! lol 😎
@@redorange They may have respected your honor too :) Sadly, and according to Ichiro, Oakland fans (those stupid right field Bleacher Creatures) were the most racist and hostile he ever encountered. They called him ape names and threw change at him. We have a colorful fanbase.
Ichiro is my GOAT. Such an inspiration playing ball. His dedication and respect of the game was something else.
Ichiro is the baseball guardian angel not only loves the sport he respects it
Ichiro was incredible. One of the best I've ever seen. Watching him make throws from the outfield will never get old.
When I first saw him hit, I swear he was halfway to first before I heard the ball hit the bat.
Simply a Fine Human Being. What else needs to be said.
I knew he knew Spanish before, but this is the first I’ve heard him speak in English. I never really knew what a charismatic dude he really was/is, and what a great sense of humor he has! Couldn’t ask for a better ambassador for MLB!
As a Yankee fan I’m proud to have had him at least one year. Wish we had him for more.
His skills are wonderful and even more, a real role model
She aged like fine wine 🥰😍
Love blondes
Ichiro girl has same energy. so nice
100% without a doubt one of the all time greats. An absolute master at his craft. A class act. An ambassador. The true all time hit leader. Who probably could have 500 home runs if he chose to. He was that good. I'll never forget some of the laser beams you threw from the outfield, the textbook definition of a cannon for an arm. Love and respect from an Orioles fan that spent a few years living in Seattle and I'm still sitting here cheering for a guy that I rooted for 98% of the time, unless he was playing Baltimore, ha. What a giant of the game. If there is a baseball pantheon, this man is on it with his buddy Ken Griffey Jr.
A lot of American Athletes could learn about Class, Humility, and Teamwork from this incredible Man.
I was actually in Seattle during that time. (Sad, because of 9/11; the aftermath) but, Ichiro was THE MAN!!!! He's still one of my favorite players of all time!!! Always will be! He could run out a casual grounder; 95% of the time!!!! "SAFE!" #51 is my Guy!!!! 🤘⚾!!!!! That throw from Right field to 3rd was AMAZING, as well!!!!! Rung that cat, up!!!! "You're OUT!!!!" He sat there on his knee, calmly blowing into his throwing hand. STUD!!!!
In 2010? That's nine years after September 11th
@@lambdalambdalambda257 He's talking about Ichiro's first year in the MLB in 2001...
262 HITS WITH A .372 BATTING AVERAGE!!!!!!!!!! That was the most fun season watching Ichiro break that record. All those 5-5 nights and 50 hit months. So much more fun than a HR race
Seattle isn’t even in america
@@jaydee4177 why even mention September 11th, it’s got nothing to do with the subject.
“Boohoo I still can’t believe my own government murdered 3000 people in 2001 while I watch a baseball HoF induction speech in 2022”…
Ichiro is one of my favorite players of all time. Loved watching him as a Mariners Fan.
She’s a true fan. Even better, she’s a #mariners fan 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #GoMariners!!!
She should be part of the Mariners HOF.
Great guy Ichiro, great speech. Well deserved for the Mariners HOF 👏💙⚾
Ichiro has not even changed a bit! Marry me omfg
Man... Ichiro made being a Mariners fan such a joy. This was when all-stars still stayed loyal to their city. I'm sure this girl grew up with Ichiro as the hometown hero and having this opportunity to meet him must have been so cool.
Kudos to my hometeam Mariners organization for putting on a topnotch induction ceremony, well deserved Ichi.
200 hits in his first ten seasons... 3,089 career hits... .311 lifetime BA... truly a first ballot HOF'er and such a thrill that I was able to see him play a few times over the years.... and on a side note, the "Ichiro Girl" is smokin with the blond hair!
Haven’t played baseball in years but Ichiro has been one of my MLB idols growing up. I’m glad he’s in the HOF 💯
That was the team's HOF. He'll be in Cooperstown in a few years I'm sure.
Gotta love Ichiro. He's one of my favorite players of all time.
Hopefully she shows up for his Cooperstown induction, as well.
He was unbelievable…I saw him play the 2001 season against the Red Sox in Fenway and he threw someone out at third from Deep right field…I was stunned at his accuracy and arm strength
Absolute class and Legend
I could listen to Ichiro stories all day. What a gem.
The amount of work this guy put in to perfecting his game as a 5 tool player was incredible! I would say he is easily the Jerry Rice of baseball. And whats crazy is we missed a huge chunk of his prime!
Love to hear how hilarious Ichiro is!
The guy could do it all on the field. So glad he came to play for Seattle.
Always been a fan and Ichiro was an idol to me. I played in the outfield in baseball and softball play so he was a player I looked up too. I remember my father calling me after Ichiro threw out a player trying to reach 3rd from second in a fly out situation. His throwing arm was incredible. Thank you Ichiro for your skills and entertainment.
He's just one of those people that everyone loves. Awesome guy.
He is a beautiful human being
I live in Japan and I hear him all the time on TV commercials, in Japanese. Good thing he lives up the road a bit and I can chat with him face-to-face when he goes for a run.
What a legend!
So glad I grew up with greats like Ichiro and Big Papi
The U.S. is a wonderful country.
It's a heartwarming and beautiful scene like a movie.
We went to the Fri and Sat games and the tributes to Ichiro were fantastic. Such a great guy. I wish his type of playing would make a comeback. Homeruns are great, but the small ball is really needed.
Agreed. I'd rather have the Ichiro's & Jeter's.
Sorry, Troy, the Analytics Geeks have ruined baseball.
I grew up a Rickey Henderson fan because he could do it all. Ichiro is in the exact same category. He could do it all.
I'm not a rabid baseball fan but Ichiro made me watch. It wasnt all about hr and bashing the ball as hard as you can. Ichiro was a magician with the bat.... LOVE the speech, he will always be my favorite player!
What a classy gentleman..... and one hell of a Hall of Fame player.
So So So So So happy we had him, got too see him for a solid year in 2002 when I was there almost every game Season tickets that year was hoping for a repeat of 2001 but to win in the playoffs didn't quite work out but Ichiro was great.
Ichiro was the only reason I ever watches baseball. And I even live in a country where no one cares about baseball. But it was very nice to see a reunion of Ichiro and that fangirl.
I looked at Ichiro back in the day and thought to myself “Wow I had no idea us Asians could play baseball like this!”
Then came Shohei Ohtani.
This girl’s unfiltered joy is what we all needed to witness!!!!!!!
no ohtani without ichiro. ichiro the goat
Great baseball player and even better gentleman.
Now those gentlemen are definitely OG. Of 80s through late ninety's KGJ... What an honor it would be to meet you as well as the others
Junior and Ichiro were pure class!
Such a goat
im so glad i found this. what a gem. made me laugh out loud. 🤣
262 HITS WITH A .372 BATTING AVERAGE!!!!!!!!!!
That was the most fun season watching Ichiro break that record. All those 5-5 nights and 50 hit months. So much more fun than a HR race. Ichiro will always be my all-time favorite baseball player. Sorry Ohtani lmao.
And one of the most iconic unique batting style thing where he held out the bat toward the pitcher until starting the windup and throw. Cool. Badass. ICHIRO.
One of my favorite moments was when he hit a game winning home run off MARIANO RIVERA in 2009. Legendary.
Excellent Day!
I would go to Mariners games when I was a kid with my mom and dad, and I remember they said Ichiro was "faster than the blink of an eye," so I thought I had super-human blinking speeds cuz I could blink like five times before Ichiro could run to first!
So many good memories. Just visited home and went to my first game with my fam in like a decade. True legend Ichiro.
Aaahhh...
A delightful repeat moment...
He is a gracious man with a lovely sense of humour...
🇿🇦
I don't watch baseball at all but even I know who Ichiro is and how great he was.
Who knew Ichiro, was hilarious. Man he was phenomenal. Speed a bat , about Team. Speed, Ichiro made the best infielders look confused by his speed.
wow his speech has come along so well!
I'm glad the US and MLB gave Ichiro his flowers.
One of the Greatest of all time !!!!! His Stats are unbelievable ....
Two of the best players to ever play the game Ichiro and Griffey, just sucks they never won a World Series ring.
Ichiro was a great baseball player and always a class act. Much respect.
Love you Ichiro. also everyone needs to have this girls energy🤣❤️
Cardinals fan here- but man, this dude is straight up legendary.
Safeco Field, now T-Mobile Park is known as the "House Junior Built", now Seattle is now known that "Ichiro put on the map", and gave the Mariners the recognition that the team deserved.
I was just looking up his career stats and saw that, as a 42-year-old player, with about half a season's worth of at-bats, he hit .291 with 15 doubles, 5 triples, and 10 stolen bases.
5 triples! 🤯
I was watching that game when he bumped into her. Good memories. Now we have Ohtani and Judge bringing life back into baseball and make it more exciting.
Watched him hit an ITP HR in the All-Star Game here in The City - wicked!
The best player to ever play the game period. If you are a manager of a team you want a player like Ichiro on your team.
Definitely will be in MLB HOF. A great player.
He's on the short list as the best pure hitter in baseball history.
Thats just a fact.
I'm just watching this video imagining Ichiro delivering a curse-laden speech at the All-Star game with this voice 🤣
Much love for Ichiro from Braves Country. The MLB HOF awaits!
Her reaction is so cute!!
Dang…Junior looks as big as his dad did.
Ichiro is one of the most exciting players of my lifetime. I suffered through MANY losing seasons with our Mariners during the 80’s while in high school and beyond. But, Junior, Ichiro, Big Unit and the gang brought great times and hope. Even if they fell short of their ultimate goal….it was GREAT seasons.
Thanks Ichiro for your service and dedication. Aloha 🤙🏾🎼✌🏾
I was there! What a great night. A true giant of baseball.
Hearing Ichiro speak to the fans in English was the like the first time the Emperor of Japan spoke to the people of Japan for the first time at the end of the war.
I live in San Diego and we'd make the hour n half drive up to Anaheim when the Mariner's played the Angel's to see Jr. and Ich play...now i take my 14 yr old daughter up to see Ohtani ...
Him and Griffey had the most batting swag out of the whole MLB!
