Ichiro Suzuki wins baseball All Star Game MVP - 07-11-2007, 12:22 PM

Ichiro has set the record for most hits in a single Major League season. He was a member of the Japanese team that defeated Cuba to win the first World Baseball Classic. He is reportedly on the brink of extending his tenure with the Mariners for five years at $100 million.

And now he's Ichiro is first Japanese player to be named the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player of the All-Star Game. He did it on the strength of a 3-for-3 night and the first inside-the-park homer in both his professional career and the 74-year history of the Major League Baseball All Star Game.

That's so cool! I have seen him play a bunch of times. I am not a huge baseball fan, but the game needs more honest, cool, and crime-free players like him.
