JasonIchiro does have one of the finest outfield arms in the game...I never thought much of him either way until I attended a Yankees game in 2003. Amazing seats (the only way I'll go to a Yankees game), 10 rows behind 1st base.
A Yankee flies out to right (Ichiro). A Yankee on 3rd starts toward home (and stops) and Ichiro uncorks a throw to the plate that I will remember until the day I die (which of course, will be more amazing the longer I live). I swear I could hear it slicing through the air, and it had no arc. You could not see an arc on this throw. It zipped straight past us and smacked into the catcher's glove as though it were a perfect strike (right at the catcher's knee level, 3rd base side of the plate).
I couldn't help it, I let out a shreik like a little girl at the play...never seen anything like it
Amazing talent
