There's never been a player like Ichiro. In honor of his Hall of Fame induction, watch this scene from THE DIAMOND KING narrated by John Ortiz, which includes the great story of when Ichiro commissioned Dick Perez to duplicate a painting of his he saw in Cooperstown.

In the movie The Diamond King, the picture below is shown - Dale Murphy, standing next to artist Dick Perez, being presented with a Perez portrait. I'd never seen the photo.

Probably for the best. 11-year-old me couldn’t have handled it - Two heroes, one picture.

NO KINGS except for Diamond Kings. I finally watched “The Diamond King” tonight—the documentary about artist Dick Perez. I knew I was going to like it. But holy moly I was not ready for this. I mean, the art is great. But I fell for the person. Phenomenal. Go watch it.

This clip from THE DIAMOND KING, about the one and only Ichiro, was recently included in a @baseballhall.org newsletter so I thought I'd share it here also. I love this scene - narrated by John Ortiz, written by @joeposnanski.com and featuring the work of Dick Perez. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND_J...
