Re: Ichiro to the Yankees
I see where, though it's not officially retired, Ichiro will not wear Bernie Williams' #51 out of respect for his place with the Yankees. Ichiro will instead be wearing #31.

Re: Ichiro to the Yankees
I think the city of Seattle is on suicide watch. First the Sonics leave town. Now Ichiro went to the Dark Side. Whats next? Seahawks move to LA??

Re: Ichiro to the Yankees
i happen to be at costco passing by the plasmas display when i saw the camera zooming in on ichiro in left field but sporting a yankee uniform. i had to do a double take to see if a was hallucinating.
interesting note that Ichiro took #31 instead of #51 out of respect to Bernie Williams. Super class act. Hope Ichiro can be motivated playing for a winning team. Cannot wait to see the fan reaction at Yankee stadium
As far as prices for a jersey, I am thinking over 30K if you compare Ichiro's stature to Matsui's stature in the Japan market. If the Yankees win it this year, skies the limit.Regards,

Re: Ichiro to the Yankees
Seattle fans showed real class there. The entire situation is surreal like seeing Chipper Jones in a Mets Uniform or Derek Jeter in a Red Sox jersey.
The part of me who loves sports sees this as an amazing team player pushing for a trade to help his team's future as he knows he can't help them to a title. The cynical realist sees a 12 year veteran who knows his career is ending, pushing to be on a team with a legit shot for a title instead of the drowning franchise.
Either way, all fans lose. As usual

Re: Ichiro to the Yankees
I think Griff and Edgar Martinez should unretire for one game so that Seattle fans can suffer through adding them to this list:
Jay Buehner
Alex Rodriguez
Tino Martinez
Ichiro
