Derek Jeter Shares His Thoughts About Ichiro Suzuki

Derek Jeter talked before the Yankees and Mariners game on Monday about Ichiro Suzuki, who they acquired prior to the game.

Here is what he had to say:

I’ve enjoyed playing against him for 11-12 years; he’s someone I’ve always admired from afar. I’ve had the opportunity to play with a lot of great players throughout the years. ... He’s done some great things in 11 ½ years he’s been in the league. Offensively, defensively, on the bases; there are a lot of different ways he can beat you. He’s been as consistent as any player for a long time. Ten years in a row of 200 hits, that’s not easy to do.


All positive things coming from the captain.

The Yankees will play the Mariners from July 23rd to July 25th.
