    ...^^^another surprising Ichiro stat is his career splits vs LHers and RHers. (.329 & .307)

    odd how "great" hitters hit regardless of whose on the mound- atypical of Matsui as well: .281 vs RH'rs, .284 vs LH Pitching...(tho' Hideki was no Ichiro)....

    edited mins later, to correct error vs RH P's...
