evidence: Between Japan and the United States, Ichiro Suzuki was a professional baseball player for almost three decades. Widely regarded for his longevity, dependability and for being one of the best pure hitters of all time — Suzuki is a living baseball legend. Suzuki spent most of his career playing with the Mariners. In his time in the Pacific Northwest, Suzuki became a Seattle sports icon and one of the best all-around superstars in MLB history. After playing his last few games in his native Japan, Suzuki’s storybook career ended roughly three years ago. On Saturday evening, before a game against the Guardians, the Mariners paid tribute to Suzuki by inducting him into the team’s Hall of Fame. But that wasn’t all they did on "Ichiro Weekend."
