I’m coming out of retirement briefly this weekend to attend Ichiro’s Hall of Fame induction and contribute a couple of columns to my old shop. Here is the first. I’ll also be writing from the ceremony Sunday.
Ichiro remains an enigma to some, as a career of translated interviews obscures a personality teammates say is as robust as his Hall of Fame skill set. Column from @StoneLarry: st.news/4mcZVGC
Amazing work by the @SeaTimesSports team: Pick up today’s Seattle Times for our commemorative Ichiro Hall of Fame section designed by @richboudet. Great job by all involved!
Coming in Friday’s Seattle Times is our special section honoring Ichiro’s induction into the Hall of Fame. Cover illustration by Robert Carter with stories by @A_Jude @ByTimBooth and some really cool graphics also by me. @SeaTimesSports 🗞️
My first experience with the Cape Cod summer baseball league. What a great scene!
I’ve been reminded that there are no extra innings anymore in the Alk-Star Game but rather a Home Run Derby.
First time all season Bryan Woo hasn’t gone 6 innings.
Call me an old fuddy duddy, but I really dislike all these in-game interviews.
I've heard that Bryan Woo might pitch in the third inning for the AL.
Mariners reach the All-Star break on an 86-win pace. Will have to step it up in the second half to ensure a playoff spot.
Highly impressive bounceback series for the Mariners after Thursday’s disaster in NY
Just ran into the guy from Rawlings on his way to drop off Cal Raleigh's special Big Dumper HR Derby bats at the ballpark. How cool are these!
I’m sure there have been worse Mariners’ losses this year, but none jump to mind right now
Very curious to see how far Dan Wilson is willing to extend Bryan Woo
Very sad. In 2005, I wrote about Jenks’ Seattle-area connection, including a stint at Inglemoor High School. seattletimes.com/sports/sweet-r…
Former Chicago White Sox All-Star pitcher and 2005 World Series Champion Bobby Jenks passed away yesterday, July 4, in Sintra, Portugal, where he had been battling adenocarcinoma, a form of stomach cancer. He was 44 years old.
Harry Ford is en route to Texas to join the Mariners. But Ford will only be formally promoted if Mitch Garver needs an IL stint. Garver scheduled for medical scans to determine extent of the injury to his jaw/chin.
Threw the first pitch in Mariners history and also pitched for the Seattle Pilots. His son, David, had a stint with the Mariners as well. RIP
Heartbroken about the news of the passing of my dear friend, and former @mlb pitcher, Diego Segui. He was 87. We honored Diego last November with our Negro Leagues Beisbol Lifetime Achievement Award. Sending thoughts and prayers to the Segui family!💔🙏🏾
You can add Cal Raleigh to this list after No. 30
Cal Raleigh now has 29 homers. Today is game No. 74 for the M's. Here is the list of MLB players all-time with 30 HRs in a team's first 81 games. Cal would join some incredible company with 1 more HR in the next week.
Julio bashers might be surprised to learn he has caught Cal in bWAR and is tied for 4th among all MLB position players, ahead of the likes of Ohtani and Witt
