He may not be as good as he used to be but you got to admit... he still has it

[kihlos]

How far he threw it is impressive enough but he also hit the target. The third baseman just stood there. Crazy.

[TheWeb]

The crowd reaction gives me chills. you can see how much his people love him.

[zakkwylde]

That look at the end, "Like, I'm Ichiro, what did you expect?"

[ijfdse]

The next 100% unanimous Hall of Famer. I love Ichiro!!!

[bensontan]

That throw of his at age 45, is amazing as the throw he made to get Terrence Long out in his rookie season in 2001!!!

[someoneelse]

He's still got it. Dont quit ichrio

[CJ-vvel]

As a Mariners fan, enjoy watching Ichiro play on our team over the years. That throw was great & right on target for the catch.

[ppqrtuss_ilove]

Ichiro is getting old. 10 years ago, after catching the ball he still have time to sign on the ball then throw to the third base.

[frankren]

Can't believe that Ichiro is He is the God in my heart.

[foxgamer]

Growing up in Seattle and being a huge mariners fan they definitely haven't lived up to the amount of talent they've had as a team but as a kid watching griffey, randy Johnson, Jay buhner, Edgar Martinez, and ichiro has sure been fun. Now if we could make a run into the PLAYOFFS that would be great come on M's win us a pennant.

[buzzsawjimduggen]

The accuracy of that throw... Ichiro STILL has a cannon.

[williamk]

Ichiro has a better arm than half the RFs in MLB right now.

[lfeco]

One of the best athletes to ever play the game.

[Skazhiphop]

Frozen rope from RF to 3B AT 45 years old. Simply amazing.

An uncanny resemblance to his MLB debut put-out on 11 Apr 2001 against the....Oakland Athletics. Now known as "The Throw" (Ichiro entered the bottom of the 8th inning during the 8th game of the season at Oakland's Alameda County Coliseum, took a hit off the bounce from a Ramon Hernandez hit, with the A's Terrence long breaking for 3rd base. Ichiro launched a laser straight throw to Mariners third baseman David Bell, who hardly had to move to tag out Long). (Story courtesy of the New York Times). Final score that day was Seattle 5, Oakland 4. 18 years later, Ichiro plays his final game against Oakland with the same final score. Never to be forgotten in Seattle (and, of course, Japan).

Love this guy...going to miss watching him play. Best lead off man next to Brett Butler

[Choochmvp]

I’m not a big Mariners fan, but it’s upsetting he didn’t spend his whole career in that uniform. He’s an icon regardless, even though he played for the evil empire.

[DylanAlexSa]

ichiro es otro nivel 🔥🔥🔥👌
El Mejor jugador de la Historia

[poi]

Third baseman didn't even have to move.
