Seriously though, sounds like I've played more baseball than you've watched.

Which club are you affiliated with?
Also, you linking a 20+ year old video of a play like Ichiros doesn't support your statement that plays like this happen "all the time" (nor would you linking 20 different videos of that) any more than me linking a 20+ year old perfect game supports the statement that "perfect games happen all the time" (nor would me linking 20 different perfect game videos).
Also, this all is irrelevant. Performance-enhancing drugs get used in baseball LITERALLY all the time. Not all the dudes who are shooting up get caught, though. But does that mean it is legal to use them? Of course not. Does that mean that the league condones the use of these drugs? Of course not.
If you want to make an argument that the rule I'm talking about is not followed because it is universally disliked and the umps systematically and purposely don't enforce it and that the rule should be changed, then go right ahead. But none of the things you've had to say affect the fact that Ichiro violated a rule of MLB, the umpire improperly ruled at the plate, etc.
