In the video message, Trout said, “I was a big fan, big fan of him. When you’re playing outfield, and he’s up, you got to get to the ball quick or he’s going to be on second, or third, or maybe inside the park. So, it’s you’re always on your toes when he was at the plate.”
Then came the Japanese sensation, Shohei Ohtani, or as his fans know him by Shotime.
Ohtani said (in Japanese), “I’ve been a fan of you since I was young and my goal as a kid was to speak about my idol. It is a little strange for me now to speak in a video message about you but I will continue to honor you and do my best. Congratulations on your day.”
The day was memorable not only for the Mariner’s legend but for every person who is a fan of the game that he played.
Was there anyone else who talked about Ichiro?
