Seiya Suzuki singled in the go-ahead run as the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1 on Saturday on the back of his Japanes

His skill, the control of the bat, running the bases, playing defensively — you could count on Ichiro to play the game right. He was so (much) fun to watch

Suzuki Motor USA is celebrating 40 years of GSX-R performance with the launch of the 2026 GSX-R1000 and GSX-R1000R, along with 40th Anniversary Edition versions of the GSX-R750 and GSX-R600.

Ichiro Suzuki paused at times to collect his thoughts and placed his hand on his heart as he spoke thoughtfully about what it meant to have his No. 51 retired by the Seattle Mariners.

The Seattle Mariners retired the jersey of Ichiro Suzuki. Ken Griffey Jr. had a little fun with Suzuki at the retirement ceremony.

What’s up, Seattle!” Suzuki greeted the crowd. “I’m so grateful to be here today, to receive this highest honor.”

It kind of gave me hope at a really young age to see that someone who looks like me, plays like me, is able to succeed at the highest level,” said Steven Kwan, outfielder for the Cleveland Guardians.

Over a 19-year MLB career, Suzuki was a 10-time All-Star, 10-time Gold Glove winner, two-time AL batting champion, and three-time Silver Slugger. He set the single-season hits record with 262 in 2004, which still stands today. Across NPB and MLB, he amassed 4,367 hits, including 3,089 in MLB.

Safety regulations earlier this year forced Suzuki to stop selling the three-door locally.
