Another Reason to Root for Ichiro

How many major leaguers of any era would even think to do this?

Baseball is a game built on its statistical records and the legacy of its heroes - arguably more than any other American sport. This is one reason why we get so excited when legends like Bob Gibson and Stan Musial show up at an All-Star Game.

That Ichiro would go out of his way like this - to visit the grave of one of baseball's greatest and forgotten stars - shows that he understands the power of this game and its history. I love it.
