OK, I'll try

New Ichiro information:

Home to first 3.7

First to second (on triple) 3.47

Second to third (on triple) 3.43

Mickey Mantle was said to have done 3.65 from the left side. This has been disputed because the actual timing was done from films.

Vic Davillio (Cleveland in the 1960's) was reported to be the "fastest ever" from home to first in 3.55. Again a left hander that was always moving towards first when the ball was hit AND AGAIN this time was taken from films not actual play.

Tee

Ooops, this information is from ESPN The Magazine
