don't get me wrong,i'm a l a dodger fan.the yanks were always a major dodger killer in the w s.i always hoped the dodgers trade for ichiro.it would have been perfect with the large japanese community in l a...for the yankees this makes good baseball sense.sure they get his hitting,but they got ichiro for the playoffs.he'll be on base so jeter can knock him in to win the game.i think it's nice for ichiro that he has a great chance for a big fat ring near the end of his great career.
