While I doubt that will happen, I suppose if anyone is going to challenge Joe DiMaggio's streak, it's this guy.
Ichiro went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and a stolen base, extending his hitting streak to a career-high 24 games as the Seattle Mariners held on to beat the Texas Rangers 9-5 last night. He can be thanked for Seattle's recent run of seven wins in their last ten games, as well.
In that span, Ichiro is batting .362 (12-for-47) with 17 hits, including 2 homers and 9 RBIs. He had 46 hits and an AL-best 13 stolen bases over 30 games in May, and batted .357 for the month.
So far, I'd say he's making a pretty good impression in the last year of his contract. Although, he claims that the lack of any serious talks on a new Seattle deal with free agency looming gives no added importance to his strong start.

Great post - Ichiro is so awesome.
Actually it was Orestes Destrada that made that bold prediction. Dusty's pick was that the Chi Sox would finish the month 1 game out of first.
It's okay anonymous, I won't yell at you for correcting me.
And you're right, I can't believe I mixed those two up, cause I totally said "Yeah! One game behind the TWINS!" after Dusty called that.
