Ichiro card #5 2002 Topps 10 #72


  • When you create a set based on the Top 10 players in a category, it's almost as if you're creating it for stars like Ichiro.  7 base cards and 7 matching die cuts.  
  • Some of the names on the top 10 for stolen bases on the back bring back some memories.  Juan Pierre, Bob Abreu and Chuck Knoblauch all had some great seasons.  Some more than others...
  • Hit #5 for Ichiro was his first XB hit, a double to right in the first inning on April 6/01 against the Rangers Rick Helling.  He wouldn't stay at second long, Mark McLemore would hit a 2 run homer next.
