I'm sure you must have heard by now that Ichiro Suzuki has been traded to the Yankees. Let me be frank with you, before today I did not know who this fellow was, nor do I care for baseball. But I do know about Ben Gibbard, and regardless of topic, I definitely care for his new Ichiro tribute released today upon the advent of the Mariner's trade.

The song is catchy, upbeat, and gleams with hometown pride. There is a wonderful simplicity to it that makes me happy to listen over and over again. It feels like warm summer evenings and hotdogs and driving with the window down. If more baseball means more gems like this, it may be something I'll have to look in to.
