WATCH: Ichiro Suzuki Breaks School Window With Home Run
Ichiro was coaching players at Asahikawa Higashi High School in Japan, before deciding to take some batting practice
Ichiro Suzuki still has pop in his bat at age 50, as evidenced by a video from the weekend in which the former Seattle Mariners star crushed a baseball that smashed the window of a school.
Ichiro was coaching players at Asahikawa Higashi High School in Japan, when he appeared to take some batting practice. His right-field shot sailed over a protective net, broke a window and interrupted a math class, according to The Guardian.
After the baseball broke the glass, Ichiro turned to look at the players watching him, as if to say: Whoops.
Ichiro is expected to be the first Asian player inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown when eligible in 2025.
He retired in 2019 after being a 10-time All-Star, 10-time Gold Glove winner, and two-time batting champ. He had 4,367 career hits between Japan and the U.S., including 3,089 in the big leagues.
Today, Ichiro is a special assistant to the chairman for the Mariners.
