National Forest of Ichiro
I thought this was interesting.
“He has two sets of bats,” Tony Attanasio, Suzuki’s long-time agent, related this week. “He’ll take a bat and hit the barrel of the bat with his finger nail and listen to it. Then he’ll put that bat aside. He does that with every one of the bats. He puts some of the bats on his left-hand side, some on the right-hand side. The bats are different.”
...
Attanasio said Mizuno, the Japanese company that makes Ichiro’s bats, has a forest of trees dedicated to his bats.
A nice article extolling the virtues of Ichiro.?
