My favorite athlete

I like Ichiro very much, and I respect him.
I think that he is the baseball player who is the most excellent in Japan.
He has many splendid records in Japan.
He was the leading hitter  for seven consecutive years, 1 season 210 hits etc...
He makes an outstanding performance in the Major League.
What was particularly great,  is that he broke the most hit record that George Sisler has.
I watched the game on TV.
I was really impressed and cried very much.
I think that great players like him do not appear anymore.
He is the  pride of Japan.
