I'm no Yankees fan, but I don't have a violation here. Ichiro was already in the grass well off the line between third and home when Wieters started to turn with the ball (stop the video at 21 seconds to see). He did twist a little further away to avoid the tag, but it wasn't an additional three feet from his path prior to the tag.
It just looked like a violation because of how far behind home plate Ichiro ended up when he passed it. But he was already to the right of the foul line a good distance as he approached.
