There are few things in baseball more beautiful than the friendship between Shohei Ohtani and Ichiro Suzuki.
Ohtani has long talked about his love for the retired Mariners legend and has been starstruck by him on several occasions. And it still never gets old. The two Japanese baseball icons had a chance to meet again on Monday night with the Angels playing in Seattle.
As soon as Ohtani spotted his hero across the stadium he took off running to pay his respects.
Ohtani and Ichiro ❤️🇯🇵

It’s the way Ohtani just immediately drops everything and turns back into a kid that makes this moment so wholesome.
Honestly, it deserves a closer look.

Basically anytime these two share the field together the public gets another adorable moment.
