Ichiro's in town
The most exciting player in baseball, Ichiro Suzuki, is in NYC with his Seattle Mariners to take on the Yanks.
To me, there’s something very Bruce Lee-like about this guy...and it’s not just physical skill. He practically speaks in koans:
Asked to explain his unorthodox style in the batter’s box, Ichiro simply replied: “It works for me.”
More Ichiro: “People say I’m an explorer, a pioneer, whatever. That’s other people’s opinion. That’s not why I came over here. I came over here to play baseball.”
Ichiro on his adjustment upon arriving from Japan: “Baseball is just baseball.”
During a slump, Ichiro mused: “Failure is the mother of success.”
