Re: Alumni HR Derby!
Ichiro should pull a Larry Bird. I don't remember the details. It was a dream team 3 point shooting match at an all star game. Maybe it was the first one, David might remember. So Bird walks in where they are waiting. A group of future hofers and says, so which of you is coming in second? Supposedly everybody just sat quiet. He then proceeded to kick their asses

Larry also never took off his warm up jacket.

Re: Alumni HR Derby!
Thats the best they could get?
Ichiro Cameron, A pitcher and 4 bench scrubbs who had a combined for less Home Runs in a mariners uniform than Cal Raleigh had last year.
It should be people that are in the top 20 for all time HR with the M's. Cruz should be participating. He's 7 years younger than Ichiro. They should have got Beltre as well he is 47 and can probably still swing without looking like a geriatric. Kyle Seager's only 38 but they burned that bridge. Zunino and Haniger are only 35 and both have been out of Baseball for a few years.
