Ichiro in Seattle at least until 2012

Last Friday the Seattle Mariners and #51 agreed on a five year 90 million dollars contract that will keep him defending the Mariners' outfield until at least 2012. I believe that this is the right move for the club because he is the face of the franchise and the only player left from that miraculous 116 win season in 2001. Also the Japanese ownership could not let the one of the best players from Japan and the best one in the major leagues walk away to another MLB club. So I hope that he continues to break records and that he enters the Hall of Fame with a Mariners cap.
