Book excerpt: Ichiro Suzuki, one of the New York Yankees' newest outfielders and hottest batters, talks about all things baseball in this candid book that reveals the inner mind of one of baseball's finest practitioners. Since Ichiro Suzuki joined the Seattle Mariners in 2001, he awed America, earned the respect of his teammates, and won the heart of baseball fans everywhere. But being notoriously private and media-elusive, fans know very little about him. Ichiro proves to be a thoughtful and gifted student of the game. He articulates how, as one of the smaller players in the MLB, it takes something more than power and strength to become a fully realized player and effective team member. Being a baseball superstar on two continents, he reflects on the insane media coverage he endures, as well as his own awe for the game’s great players. In this frank conversation, the leading Major League batter breaks down the art and science of the swing. From the Hardcover edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Baseball Samurais, take a look back at Ichiro Suzuki's sensational rookie year...from the top spot in Japan to the Seattle Mariners' right field. Seven-time batting champion for Japan's Pacific League, he was a paradoxical combination of modesty and ego, calling himself simply "Ichiro." But when the Seattle Mariners signed him to a fourteen-million-dollar contract, scoffers said the 5-foot-9 inch, 156-pound Ichiro wasn't even in the ballpark. He proved them wrong. With fast legs and an even faster bat, he led the Mariners to their best start in franchise history. Now, sportswriter Rob Rains takes an in-depth look at Ichiro and the \wave of talented Japanese players, including former Rookie of the Year, Kazuhiro Sasaki of the Seattle Mariners, and Hideo Nomo of the Boston Red Sox, former Yankee Hideki Irabu and Mets outfielder Tsuyoshi Shinjo. American fans are learning what the Japanese already know--these amazing players are already mapping out baseball's future, proving that this grand slam Asian invasion is here to stay... Includes 8 pages of thrilling photos.

Book excerpt: An homage to one of the great baseball players of our era, Baseball Is Just Baseball is a wide-ranging selection of Ichiro Suzuki’s most startling and provocative observations. Updated to reflect his move to the New York Yankees in July 2012, the book also includes a revised Introduction by acclaimed nonfiction writer David Shields. When Ichiro was traded to the Yankees on July 23, 2012, the news made headlines around the world. He will finish out the year in pinstripes before becoming a free agent in 2013. Ichiro is a ten-time All-Star, ten-time Gold Glove winner, 2001 AL MVP and Rookie of the Year, and a virtual lock for the Hall of Fame. Experience reality rather than your expectation of reality. Believe in yourself. Don’t take yourself seriously, but find an activity to be passionate about and take that activity very seriously. Don’t buy the hype. Dissolve hate into love. Care more about the process than the product. Find joy in the seeking itself. Such are some of the simple but profound ideas embodied in this prize of a little book—a document of not only a popular athlete but an impressively thoughtful human being.
