Ichiro received some send off over in Japan.
Not surprised in the least he retired in Japan. The man had one of the greatest careers in the history of the game and he deserved it. However he's not the all-time hits leader IMO as I don't count his numbers from Japan. You gotta do it in MLB.
Heard from a MLB source.
A leak is spreading regarding a test performed by MLB having pitchers and catchers using electronic devices allowing for communications during games in order to end sign stealing.
They are leaning towards this but leaked the info on purpose to get feelers on how it would be viewed by public.
I don't mind this at all and perhaps it could speed the game up as well so pitchers/catchers don't have to continually go throw missed signs, switch signs up, mound visits, etc. They already do it in football with the quarterback and the coach, so I don't mind at all this implementation.
