Ichiro has zero critics. Hes a first ballot HOF. Who knows what he would have done if he played his whole career in the US. Pete Rose would prob be #2 all time in hits if Ichiro played his whole career here. If Ichiro wanted to sacrifice his own style of play, he prob could have hit 20 HR a year, not to mention if he played in the 80's, hed average 80-90 SBs a year with his OB skills. He is also prob one of the all time best fielding outfielders who could average 25+ OF assists if runners werent terrified of his cannon. Ichiro, had he played his whole career in the US, would be one of the games best players ever. Had he played in the earlier decades, he would have been the last hitter to bat .400. Ichiro is a baseball machine who I wish played on this side of the US so I could see how great he was. He will collect his 2000th hit in under 10 seasons, good lord.
With Posednick, I see your comparison.
