MLB legend Ichiro Suzuki proved that age is just a number by shattering a high school classroom window with a towering home run during a coaching session. The incident occurred over the weekend at Asahikawa Higashi High School in Hokkaido, as the Japanese baseball icon was giving pointers to the young team.
As a special assistant to the chairman for the Seattle Mariners, Suzuki typically provides instruction to both the major league and Triple-A teams. However, his love for the game often finds him on various fields, sharing his wealth of knowledge with aspiring players in Japan.
During the session, Suzuki hit a dinger that soared over the protective netting which stood at an impressive 26 feet. The ball flew beyond the field and into a classroom during a math lesson.
