Samenvatting:

Ichiro Suzuki arrived in Seattle in 2001 as a mostly anonymous free agent from Japan’s NPB, and while there was buzz about his potential, no one really knew what to expect. Since then, he has set many records in American Major League Baseball, including the record for most hits in a single season (262) and longest streak of two-hundred-hit seasons (ten years). On August 21, 2013, he got the four thousandth hit of his professional baseball career. This spiritual interview reveals the “making of Ichiro,” including the secrets to his professionalism, his techniques for overcoming slumps, and how he made it to the top. The interview highlights Ichiro’s unique traits that continue to impress us, twelve years after he first unleashed the laser beam.
