Ichiro talks about his new contract

[phillyphan1994]

the best thing about him is not his athleticism, but his loyalty. he's been on the same team for 10.5 seasons now and he hasn't gotten anywhere close to winning it all since 2001.

[briandee]

Ichiro is so awesome.

才能とユーモアを兼ね備えていますね＾＾

"August in kanas city is hotter then two rats in a fucking wool sock"-Ichirio xD

[boamuro]

Funny he translated the dog barking correctly..

Japanese: wan wan wan

English: ruff ruff ruff

hehe

Good translator... he must really know about Ichiro or really close knowing that was his dog's name.

[tdshow99]

Jhopp, Ichiro knows english, he speaks english to his team mates all the time, he just prefers using a translator when it comes to the media, think about it, the way our society is set up, people would make fun of him for his broken english.

[spazticnerfbrain200]

I was at the game where they announced the extension in his contract. Pretty awesome.

[jhopp1234]

there is just one little thing that bothers me about Ichiro. He has been in the United States for almost 10 years and he hasnt even bothered to learn english. The least you could do is speak some broken english, but he cant speak any. come on man, you live here, learn the language so you can communicate with people.

[cd123ism]

@jhopp1234 dude he can speak english fine now.

[yourmommm123]

@jhopp1234 he does know English, but he chooses to have a translator, that way he can speak his that's very eloquently

ジョークがうまいなぁ、イチローは本当に国際人だな。英語もっと­どんどんしゃべってほしい。気にせずに。かれなら下手でもかなり­笑い取れると思う。

[paradigm5shift]

この二人、いいコンビだね

[iichirojj]

Ichirosan good luck in the WBC.Hope for the best.

[iwatchmassvideo]

Love Ichiro, he's knocking on the door at Coopertown. If he would of began playing at 24 or somthing he would have over 3000 hits, but he's going to have like 2600 life time.

[stevenmcnair1897]

The Level of playing in the Japanese Leagues Is Also Very high. He already has over 3000 hits if you combine His hits from Both leagues (American baseball should really count stats from Japanese leagues, Much like the different European football leagues and their shared stats.)

[wardnikoff]

He will get in. He is one of the most pure baseball athletes the game has ever seen, they will take his japan league stats into consideration....after the whole steroid thing, they will want an actual legit player in there.

[nosoxfan]

ichiro is a very very funny guy

[stevedevinex3]

hes the greatest hitter ive eveer seen

[naskilla1]

hahaha ichiro is the man

[baseball965]

Ichiro is a frist ballet hall of fame

[xxmercury261xx]

I thought ichiro could speak english!

wow..

[JDTLA]

he can speak, at least conversational level, but he choose not to in order to avoid having interviews twice in japanese and in english. he's also a perfectionist, that might be why he does not speak english in public.

[052086DK]

no no no come to the national leagues... play for the atlanta braves...

[DClem1]

Why would he go to the Braves where he wouldn't make jack shit for money and not play around his fellow race of people in Seattle. There's a huge japanese population of people there where he's a god!

[WIIFROMNINTENDO]

What did he say?

[beppu]

When asked if there was someone who counseled him to stay in Seattle, Ichiro answered: "Ikkyu" (which is his dog).

[fy6717]

ROTFL XD
