About this listen
Ichiro Suzuki, the eternal Hit Machine, stayed mostly under the radar this past week, with no major headlines dominating the news cycle. Mariners radio legend Rick Rizzs name-dropped him Tuesday while announcing his 2026 retirement, reminiscing about calling games for Ichiro alongside Griffey and A-Rod, per Sodomojo.com, underscoring Ichiros enduring Mariners legacy as Rizzs eyes a World Series sendoff. On Wednesday, a Spreaker podcast episode titled Ichiros Seattle Legacy from Baseball Icon to Sports Ambassador aired, hinting at a recent public appearance though details remain unconfirmed from the brief 2-minute clip. Thursday brought a cheeky SSCOK.edu tour page buzzing about fans getting a chance to see Ichiro play on an MLB field again, dated January 29 by Josh Hutton, but this smells like fan speculation or virtual throwback no verified game action reported. Donga.com mentioned Friday that Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo plans a 2026 right-field shift, citing Ichiro as his role model, a nod to the icons influence on rising stars. A Tankers International app video bio dropped same day, recapping his Orix debut and hit records, but its just evergreen fan content. No fresh business deals, social media storms, or spotted sightings from MLB.com, Britannica, or Wikipedia updates. The Tokyo Series documentary Homecoming, premiered Saturday via Fathom Events, name-checks Ichiro as inspiration for Ohtani and Yamamoto, but thats archival glow not new moves. An AOL free-agent list bizarrely ranks a 60-year-old Ichiro at 21, pure fantasy fodder amid Tucker talk. Overall, Ichiros week whispers quiet reverence, his shadow lengthening over baseballs next gen without a single verified swing or statement.
