That's ok, I think the Japanese are savages so we're even. They make good food though.

Maybe he's subconscious about his English or even his accent and would rather just have a translator even if he can speak it and read it.

Will Ichiro reach 3,000 hits? Currently sits at 2,844.
He's got 4,122 professional hits between Japan and the U.S. That puts him 3rd on the all-time list and 134 hits short of Pete Rose's record of 4,256. Pretty damn impressive if you ask me.

It could be a Pochettino situation where he can speak English but chooses not to.

No doubt. I would like to see him reach 3,000 over here but I am skeptical.

I hope you don't have an important job or something.

actually, he can speak English, and read English and understand spoken English.
what he is not willing to do is to misunderstand a question, or speak English poorly, with an accent and be misunderstood and made fun of. by having a translator, he is guaranteed to know the question's intent and to have his ideas expressed in language the audience can understand.
Exactly.

People on here may not get that reference but I agree. I heard that he can speak English better than he lets on, and uses his façade as a barrier to being misunderstood by English speaking media

He probably just doesn't give a shite. Pay a translator or actually learn it? Easy choice for him

He speaks English, I have spoken to him in it. It was his rookie year, I was a youngin at the time and had an Ichiro shirt on at any away game.
Before the game he came up to be signed a ball and briefly spoke to me. Wasn't great but I could understand him, and he could understand me.

Sounds like Marshawn Lynch needs to take up a 2nd language.

Doesn't he average like 200+ a season? I know he's been down in latter years but he'll still break 3,000 in 2015.
ETA: that's given of course he stays healthy.
The real number he has now is 4,122 though.

Definitely wouldn't surprise me.
Keeps the questions from being too hard.
