It takes a lot away that he is in Seattle, because when a Seattle team is shitty they are on the corner of the nation and nobody else pays any attention to them. As for home runs, its more exciting when somebody gets a home run than a single, so even though the Cards weren't good that year you go to see Big Mac hit a home run rather than go to a Mariners game to see Ichiro get a single.
I also agree that Ichiro's receord is more impressive, but its simply just not as exciting.
