I nearly fell off my couch when I saw Ichiro in pinstripes.

Holy moly. I just never imagined he would not retire as a Mariner.

But business is business and it looks like he is excited about the change of scenery.

Glad to rent him for a year. Hoping maybe longer. Always love watching him play.

For the Yankees it was a no-brainer. Boost in ratings on their TV station, lots of jerseys to sell, and someone to fit nicely where Gardner played in left field. (He is out for season.)

I still think I would prefer to see him in his normal right field, throwing out people at first base with the short porch. But I don't think Swisher can handle the real estate of left field.
