Since turning 50, the Mariners legend has been inducted into the
Hall of Fame, launched eight homers at the Mariners Alumni Home
Run Derby this summer and, most recently, tossed a 127-pitch
shutout with 17 strikeouts during an annual All-Star Game against
the best high-school girls in Japan. […]The All-Star Game took place Sunday at the Tokyo Dome in front of
a reported 25,000 fans. The game also featured former New York
Yankees All-Star outfielder Hideki Matsui. In addition to his
dazzling performance on the mound, Ichiro led off the game and had
a pair of hits.Speaking to reporters in Japanese, Ichiro said, “I wanted to see
what my current limits were, and this gave me confidence in
myself.”
Trung Phan, on X, posted a short video of clips. Ichiro was tossing some nasty stuff.
