“This is a happy occasion. When I retired that night in Tokyo, I had an incomplete feeling because the great fans of Seattle could not be there,” said Ichiro, who retired during the Mariners’ season-opening series in Japan in March. He made his comments in English after using a translator throughout his career.
“And I know, you had every reason not to accept me. However, you welcomed me with open arms and you have never stopped, even when I left and came back. I was so grateful for the chance to return in 2018, and the reason is you fans.” Since his retirement, Ichiro has worked as a front-office adviser, with Mariners players and with minor leaguers at Triple-A Tacoma and Class-A Everett.
