Remembering Ichiro’s 3000th Hit
As Albert Pujols got his 3000th hit last night and future hall of famer Ichiro Suzuki lays down his bat for good, I look back fondly to two summers ago when he hit the rarified air of the 3000 hit club. Coors Field, August 7, 2016. I was fortunate to be in attendance with camera gear in tow!
The classic approach
Contact!
Is it out of here?
Rounding second..
It’s off the wall!
Digging for third!
In with a stand up triple!
3000th hit!
A salute to the appreciative fans
And a loving teammate mob!
Thanks for the memories Ichiro. You brought talent, athleticism, an amazing work ethic and a lot of class to the beloved game of baseball! And welcome to the club Albert Pujols.
