For your Fish Flash though, a trio of non-Ichiro related stories; segues are all well and good, but not today.

Lastly, we close with a recapping of that historic Monday power show put on by the Marlins and the Rockies. The Herald’s Clark Spencer checked in with Don Mattingly for his thoughts on what he saw, and suffice it to say he was impressed. Check it out.
