It was always a joy to watch Ichiro- and for that matter, the entire Mariners team of 2001. But Ichiro was a role model of excellence: His throwing arm was laser beam accurate, he was always a gentleman and he had the uncanny ability to put the ball in play- and get hits, not necessarily home runs, but hits that helped the entire team. The Mainers never quit in 2001, and Ichiro was a huge part of their success!

In contrast Joe Kent has been an outspoken denier of Trumps 2020 election loss and has continually supported the BIG LIE that he did in fact lose. Obviously Donald Trump loves obsequious yes men who will do his bidding, regardless of an oath they take- in bad faith- to defend the constitution, not a wannabe dictator, king or tsar.

Ichiro is my favorite baseball player of all time. He is a real role model and even cherishes his bats (carries them around in a protective case). Ichiro has said that he has to take care of his tools because they take care of him. Respect.
