Ichiro Magic

Ichiro Magic

Jim Allen
0/5 ( ratings)
He can hit, he can field, he can fly. He's ICHIRO!

In his first season in major league baseball, Ichiro Suzuki has dazzled
Baseball America and won the hearts of all Seattle. He has earned the
friendship and respect of his teammates--and the awe of his opponents. He
has made scouts eat their doubts, he has made believers of sportscasters and
sportswriters, he has invigorated fans across the country--and across the
ocean. As they say, he's Ichi-rrific!
Only months into the Seattle Mariners' historic 2001 season, Ichiro has been
riding high among the American League's top ten in batting average, number
of hits, number of runs, number of steals. For the mid-season All-Star Game,
Ichiro was the Number One vote getter of all ballplayers. Not bad for a
quiet, cool, collected guy from Japan whom no one in the West had heard of
the year before.
When the Mariners take the field, the stadium rocks. When Ichiro goes to
bat, the cheers begin, the banners wave, the painted bodies leap up. When
Ichiro gets a hit--and he does it so often it's scary --the crowd goes wild. When he comes home, the music begins.

Experience this glorious season with ICHIRO MAGIC!

The commentary in this 96-page book follows Ichiro from his nursery school
days through elementary, junior high, high school, and his professional
career in Japan, to his arrival in the U.S., through his appearance in the
All Star Game and after. In numerous photographs , we see him with his Seattle teammates, with baseball's leading
stars, and with his fans across America. The commentary is by veteran
sportswriter Jim Allen, who, based in Japan, has been keeping track of
Ichiro's career right from the beginning.
Jim Allen is the baseball columnist for the English-language
Daily Yomiuri and has been researching Japanese baseball since he
landed in Japan in 1984. He first stumbled across the name of Ichiro Suzuki
while examining minor league performances following the 1992 season.
