K KILLTHRASH THE LANDSHARK Guest Apr 1, 2009 #1 why doesnt it say suzuki on the back of ichiros jersey is it because of trade marking or what
C Chipmaker Guest Apr 1, 2009 #3 Suzuki-san began using "Ichiro" while still playing in Japan as a way of distinguishing himself -- as noted, "Suzuki" is a rather common family name. MLB allowed him to continue the practice with the Mariners as a way of making him feel welcome on this side of the pond.
