Just a awesome hit by Ichiro and amazing speed to get around the bases for the first inside the park HR in MLB All-Star game history.
Good to see JJ get out of the inning after giving up the dinger to Soriano which added some serious drama.
Quote:
The American League won thanks in large part to the contributions of Seattle's other All-Star representative, Ichiro Suzuki.
Ichiro was selected the MVP of the All-Star Game after collecting three hits, including a two-run, inside-the-park home run off Padres pitcher Chris Young in the fifth inning.
It was the first in All-Star Game history and the first for Ichiro in his career, seven years in the Major Leagues and nine in Japan.
