Born to Play Playing baseball is what Ichiro does best. He was born in Japan on October 22, 1973. His father wanted Ichiro to become a great baseball player. He made his son practice up to four hours a day, every day, year round. Sometimes Ichiro practiced when it was too cold to grip the bat.

天生为棒球 打棒球是铃木一朗最擅长的事 1973年10月22日，他出生于日本 他的父亲希望铃木一朗成为顶尖棒球选手 他要求儿子一年四季天天练球，每天最多练四个小时 有时候天冷得握不住球棒，铃木一朗仍旧坚持练球

His father also made his right -handed son bat from the left side of the plate. That way Ichiro would be closer to first base. Ichiro and his father didn't always get along, but Ichiro still worked hard. Ichiro, which means first boy, learned well. In high school, he woke up at 3 a .m. to do his chores. he wanted to make sure he had enough time to play ball and study. All that hard work paid off. When Ichiro was 18, the Blue Wave baseball team chose Ichiro to play for them.

父亲还让习惯用右手的儿子站在本垒板左侧击球 这样一来铃木一朗就能离一垒更近 铃木一朗和父亲并非一直相处融洽，但他依旧刻苦训练 一朗的意思是长子，他学球学得非常出色 上高中时，他每天凌晨三点就起床 去做家务活 他要保证自己有足够的时间练球和学习 所有的努力都得到了回报 铃木一朗18岁那年，蓝浪棒球队选中了他

Japan's favorite player. Ichiro played for seven years with the Blue Wave in Japan. He led the team to its first championship in 1996. Ichiro also led the league in hits seven years in a row. He played in seven straight All -Star games. In time, he became one of the most famous people in the country.

Ichiro's fans couldn't get enough of him. They saw him on TV. They saw him in ads. They liked his hair and the way he dressed. Ichiro wore sunglasses and a backward baseball cap.
