The superhumanly mild-mannered Ichiro earned his only career ejection today, arguing balls and strikes.

What's he doing there with his bat?
It kinda looks like he’s drawing the strike zone, but I can’t really tell.

Yeah, he drew a line for the outside of the zone (apparently Umps are told to insta-toss anyone who does that).

has ichiro
always had his first name on the back of his jersey?

Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.

Because Suzuki is such a common last name in Japan,
his was changed to Ichiro once it became apparent that he was awesome. It’s been like that ever since.

According to Wikipedia
it’s something he’s done since he played in Japan.
I know that the Japanese switch the order of given and family names, however.
