Ichiro Suzuki is objectively one of the best pure hitters MLB has ever seen. He has 10 200-hit seasons, and he’s a member of the 3,000-hit club. But at age 50, he did something he had never pulled off during his big-league career.
He shattered a window with a home run.
Back in Japan, Ichiro took some batting practice in front of a local baseball team, and one unsuspecting person ended up getting themselves a souvenir through their apartment or classroom window.

Obviously, that’s super impressive. The man is 50 years old and still hitting monster home runs. But his reaction was probably the best part. The moment that ball shattered the glass, he looked like a kid who had just thrown a baseball through their parents’ window.
Hey, someone should have thought about that before building apartments/schools and a baseball field so close to one another. That was bound to happen.
