is retiring, that should further pave the way for the Yankees to get younger and better. They might be back to their glory days within a few seasons.
It also still feels weird after all this time not seeing Ichiro in a Seattle uniform. Whenever I saw him play against the A's, he gave me fits, but I always respected him.
