After Blanton gave up a base clearing hit, Ichiro was pushed by Blanton, I guess Blanton was already mad cause he gave up all those runs, while going for the ball he pushed Ichiro, all Ichiro did was stood there and let someone else push Blanton back, Ichiro is one of my favorite players, hes one of the nicest, same goes to Yao Ming, I feel those players get pushed around cause of their personality, I dunno if its bad for the game and the fans if I was Ichiro I would've pushed him back... I saw the replay and Blanton did meant to do that.....
Blanton was pissed off because Ichiro walked over to the ball and stood in front of it so the A's would have a hard time finding it. Blanton had the right to push him. Ichiro knew the ball was there and he should have been out of the play once he scored. They showed Ichiro in the dugout after that incident and he was laughing. Personally, I think it was a BS move by Ichiro.
