I turned to talk to a friend at Safeco Field during the Mariners-Tigers game this Sunday only to hear a massive gasp from the crowd followed by a steady stream of boo's. Our $90+ million Ichiro had just been pegged with a pitch on his knee, captured in time by photographer Jim Bryant...

Ichiro jumped around in pain while the crowd either held its breath or boo'd the Detroit pitcher. Fortunately, the X-rays are negative, and he'll be back soon.
