Imagine you're in math class. Your teacher is explaining the difference between an isosceles and a scalene triangle (things that will surely come in handy later in life) and your mind is drifting off -- thinking of somewhere, anywhere else you'd rather be.

All of a sudden, a baseball comes crashing through the window and lands on your desk. And it's not just any baseball: It's a home run hit by Ichiro Suzuki, almost certainly a future Hall of Famer.

Math class is actually maybe the best.

Although it sounds like something out of a movie, that's what happened recently at Asahikawa Higashi High School in Hokkaido, Japan.

Ichiro, now 50 years old, was at the school to teach the students basic drills and relay advice on how to be better ballplayers -- something he's been doing all around Japan the last few years. His hope is for the Asahikawa Higashi team to get to Summer Koshien -- the country's pre-eminent high school tournament -- for the first time ever.

But what better way to show kids how to play baseball than to just hit a bunch of home runs?

Ichiro took about 63 swings, twice clearing the 26-foot-high netting that protects the building. Maybe even better than the window-breaking home run? Ichiro's reaction. He looked like a kid who might get put in detention for doing what he did.
