I know Ichiro didn't face the same things Jackie Robinson did. But before Ichiro there truly was a widely-held belief that Japanese players wouldn't succeed as everyday starters.
Ichiro pretty much destroyed that thinking.

Ichiro seems so out of step with current times. He has a deep sense of honor and obligation to the game. He is serious, calm, self-possessed. He never blusters, never shows off, never complains, never vamps. He favors precision over force.
We could use a lot more Ichiros in US public life.
