hooray Ichiro

It isn't very often I just link to shit in this log, but this post is one such post. Ichiro is something of a hero of mine, find me a japanese kid of who he isn't, an I'll be damned if I didn't enjoy this THT article about him. Part I found most interesting was at the end where Smith attempts a rough conversion of Ichiro's Japan stats to equivalent mlb stats. It's fun to look at, and his observation that there doesn't seem to really be much of an aging curve here really strikes me as kind of remarkable. I do hope he has a good many years left in him, even if its at the expense of my A's, Ichiro is always great fun to watch.
