Ichiro Suzuki has no idea who the *expletive* Tom Brady is

Future MLB Hall of Famer, Ichiro Suzuki, has no idea who Tom Brady is and the exchange is hilarious.

MLB great Ichiro Suzuki recently hung up his cleats and will undoubtedly walk straight into the baseball Hall of Fame — on the first ballot.

Looking at his crazy resume, you clearly see why — and this doesn’t include his career in Japan. Ichiro is the greatest baseball player of our generation and one of the best ever.

• 10-time American League All-Star (2001–2010)
• American League MVP (2001)
• American League Rookie of the Year (2001)
• 10-time Gold Glove Award (2001–2010)
• 3-time Silver Slugger Award (2001, 2007, 2009)
• 2-time AL batting champion (2001, 2004)
• 7-time American hit leader (2001, 2004, 2006–2010)
• Batting average: .311
• Hits: 3,089
• Runs: 1,420
• Stolen bases: 509

Ichiro’s hit chart is also remarkable, using the entire field to rack up each of those 3,089 hits.

Even racking up this Hall of Fame resume, it’s not the most impressive thing he’s done. Recently, a conversation between Ichiro Suzuki and Tom Brady surfaced, thanks to Peter Gammons. It’s pretty shocking. Even for the Internet.

"He’d gotten Ichiro’s number from Alex Rodriguez, and that he wanted to come meet him and study his stretching system.“What’s the guy’s name?” asked one of the coaches. Ichiro strolled to the end of the text. “Some guy named Tom Brady. Who the f— is Tom Brady?”"

Ichiro for the win. No idea who in the world Tom Brady is a flat out gangster. Dude was so locked in on his career and improving his craft that he does not even care who the best football player on the planet is.

Dude is a flat out baller, on and off the baseball diamond. Having all of that swagger and “it” factor should not be allowed. If any Network or Netflix show developer is listening, Ichiro needs his own show. A reality show to be exact.

He’ll also reveal that he has no clue who Martin Luther King Jr is or even Abraham Lincoln. Or, maybe he was like Rickey Henderson, who played an entire season with John Olerud and didn’t remember that he played with him.

Ichiro likely couldn’t tell you who Alex Rodriguez is, the very one who sent him the text inquiring about Tom Brady. The conversation probably went like this:

Alex Rodriguez: Hey bro, this is A-Rod.

Ichiro: Who?

Alex Rodriguez: The other future Hall of Famer you played with?

Ichiro: Dude, I have no $%^#%^$ idea who you are, sorry.

Whoever has records to Ichiro’s phone records, conversations, or anything need to release them ASAP. Dude needs to be recognized as one of the wonders of the world. He’s a treasure and needs to be valued as one.
