About two hours ago, we watched Ichiro play his last game at Safeco Field. At least for 2012 and possibly forever. Besides losing a baseball superstar and a Mariner icon, we also lost a great person, both on and off the field. Ichiro is a true class act and we will miss him. Thanks Ichiro, and goodbye and the best of luck.
