Ichiro's Rush of Records
 
Ichiro Sets MLB Records One after Another
Yunker Contributes to Achievement of Record-high 262 Hits Ichiro Suzuki collected his 262nd hit of the 2004 season, surpassing George Sisler's 84-year old MLB single-season hit record. Ichiro, who was born in 1973 when Sisler passed away, broke the legendary record in mere four years after he came to the MLB. The source of power for Ichiro is the Yunker tonic drink which is well known to the MLB players. Ichiro drank his first Yunker that his father gave him while he was still on a high-school baseball team. Now he is a Yunker enthusiast who said "It's an essential part of my life. Yunker contributed greatly to the achievement of a record-high number of hits this season." "I am physically fit and feel great because I drink Yunker every day," he added, "and I do not drink Yunker to relieve my fatigue but hold out for one whole day." While Yuker has been known to MLB players including Mariano Rivera, a great player of New York Yankees for some time, Ichiro's feat this season may start a boom of "drinking up a bottle of Yunker before a game," after his fashion.

Yunker TV Commercial "New MLB Record" Now on the Air
After Ichiro set a new record, a commemoration commercial was immediately put on the air in order to appeal the important role that Yunker played behind the scenes. The production crew alternated between hope and despair as the countdown continued while they worked on the "New MLB Record" version and finally completed it with an ever-memorable catchword, "This is not a goal but one milestone in his long journey of baseball life." This new record is just one passing point for Ichiro. Together with Yunker, he will continue to evolve into a history-making player.
