Ichiro generally doesn't have much to say to reporters — mostly because they ask stupid questions and Ichiro doesn't suffer fools gladly (or at all) — but he's remarkably funny and revealing when a journalist bothers to get under the surface, as in this USA Today story:

Quote:
On Tiger Woods' athleticism: "Tiger is a great golfer, but ... when you say athlete, I think of Carl Lewis. When you talk about (golfers or race-car drivers), I don't want to see them run. It's the same if you were to meet a beautiful girl and go bowling. If she's an ugly bowler, you are going to be disappointed."

On performancing-enhancing drugs: "When you take steroids, it's not as if wings grow out of your back, and you start flying all over the place and stealing home runs (from hitters). The word 'cheating' doesn't apply for me regarding steroids."


I think we Seattle fans are going to lose Ichiro — possibly as soon as the July trading deadline — and that makes me sad.[/quote]
