Here is a preview of what is inside this Ichiro Suzuki 1: Early Life and ChildhoodChapter 2: Ichiro’s High School CareerChapter 3: Ichiro’s Japanese CareerChapter 4: Major League CareerChapter 5: Personal LifeChapter 6: Legacy and FutureConclusionAn excerpt from this Ichiro Suzuki name Ichiro means “first son” in Japanese. You could say the name fits Ichiro Suzuki more than any other person named “Ichiro” in the world. After all, the legendary Japanese baseball player shattered the Major League record books in many different areas and became an icon and role model for young athletes everywhere. Known simply as Ichiro, the future Hall-of-Famer had his fair share of “firsts” as a professional baseball player, including the
Ichiro was the first Major League Baseball player to have 200 hits each in each of his first four professional seasons. Ichiro was the first Japanese baseball player to reach 3,000 hits in a career. Ichiro was the first (and only, at the time of this writing) MLB Player to have 200 hits in each of his first 9 seasons. Ichiro was the first Japanese everyday position player in Major League Baseball. Ichiro was the first MLB player to record 262 hits in a single season. Ichiro was the first Japanese baseball player inducted into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame. Ichiro was the first MLB player since Jackie Robinson to finish first in batting average and stolen bases in the same season.
There are plenty more facts that could keep this list going on for pages, most notably the fact that, when he is eligible in 2025, he will most likely become the first Japanese-born baseball player inducted into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
It’s hard to find a man so revered, not just in Japan but also in the United States. Many Major League Baseball players and other athletes that come to the U.S. from another country struggle to adapt to American culture and often find it difficult to connect with the American fans. They always love going back home because they are worshipped there. Ichiro, however, was different from the beginning. He blended in well with the players and fans of the Seattle Mariners and soon became a fan favorite everywhere.

I just don’t have the heart to give it one star. But lots of facts are wrong and the writer either didn’t have a proofreader or he didn’t have a good one. Pretty sloppy writing. Redeemed by Ichiro being Ichiro. But don’t waste your time and money on this book.
