In other words, two generations of Ichiro fans depicted on a fan were among the figurative witnesses to his latest foray into baseball history, even if his human family members weren't. "I wish I would have asked my wife and dog to have been here tonight," the Mariners right fielder said Tuesday night, a few hours after his first-inning infield single against the Orioles extended his hitting streak to 26 games, breaking his own personal and franchise record of 25. "But if I didn't invite them, that probably shows you how much the record meant to me." Ichiro spoke with great respect for Joe DiMaggio's big league record of 56 straight games with a hit, set in 1941. "I think it's true when they say it's the hardest record to beat," he said while pondering the fact that he's still 30 games away from tying the Yankee Clipper. http://tinyurl.com/qge9ya --
