I had mixed feelings during this.

The first part of me said, "Why the heck are you looking at the ball? You know it's coming. Just run!"

Then the second part of me said, "That's so cool that his eyes and head continue to track the ball."

Thanks Steve and SCEA. Great video with suspense. Close up of the players and ball were FANtastic.

Got up this morning and why did I expect this? I'm sort of speechless actually, but not surprised.

I'll admit it's cool but damn it, you put your head down and you run home! What the hell are you waiting for, an invitation?!

Give me some sprints, Granderson!

Nitpick time since this is a staple of OS.

Did the ball bounce once on it's way to the catcher? I'm pretty sure Ichiro doesn't have that strong of an arm. But, I'm sure it bounced because after he throws the ball, it has backspin, which is appropriate.

On the third cut to the ball, it has forward spin just as the catcher grabs it. The only way that could happen is if the ball bounces on the dirt.

The video didn't show this so I'm going to nitpick because it's the fun thing to do.
