Shohei Ohtani Joined Seattle Mariners Legend in Baseball History During All-Star Game
With a three-run homer on Tuesday night in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani joined Seattle Mariners legend Ichiro Suzuki in some awesome baseball history.
Per Sarah Langs of MLB.com:
Shohei Ohtani is the second Japanese-born player to homer in the All-Star game, joining Ichiro Suzuki in 2007, who hit the only Midsummer Classic inside-the-parker

Ichiro hit that inside-the-park home run in San Francisco and ironically enough, there are multiple other Mariners connections to it:
First off, did you notice that the pitcher was San Diego Padres pitcher Chris Young, who also played for the Mariners? Did you catch that the right fielder, who the ball bounced away from, was Ken Griffey Jr.? Grifey was playing for the Reds at that time.
It’s just one of many great moments for Ichiro during his baseball career. The 50-year-old Ichiro is one of the best players of all time and is a lock for the Hall of Fame when first eligible. He spent 19 years in the major leagues after an illustrious career in Japan. He played with the Mariners (parts of 14 seasons), the Yankees (three years) and the Miami Marlins (three years).
Ichiro was a 10-time All-Star in all who won the Rookie of the Year award in 2001. He won the MVP Award in that same year and was also a 10-time Gold Glove winner, a three-time batting champion and a two-time batting champion.
He helped the Mariners win a league-record 116 games during the 2001 season that saw them advance to the ALCS.

The St. Louis Blues are back in action as they host the Seattle Kraken on Thursday at Enterprise Center (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, 101 ESPN).
It will be the team’s first game since Feb. 4, and Jim Montgomery said the squad is ready to get back to work.
“Yeah, I think everybody is,” the head coach said. “I mean, you can tell. Guys were anxious today, but it’s like ‘enough of practicing against each other, it’s time to play a game.’”
Captain Brayden Schenn, who missed Wednesday’s practice with an illness, took the morning skate and is expected to play. Dylan Holloway (ankle), who has played just one game since Dec. 12, will make his return to the lineup as well.
Robert Thomas has taken a leave of absence due to a personal matter. He’s expected to return to the team on Friday.
Additionally Jack Finley will make his Blues debut. Finley – who is the son of former Blue Jeff Finley and was born in St. Louis – was claimed off waivers by the team on Feb. 7.
“It was a dream of mine to play for this team,” Finley said. “It was a big part of my childhood, big part of my family’s life. So definitely full-circle moment and proud to be a Blue.”
Jeff, who played defense for the Blues from 1998-2004, will be in the building Thursday night to see his son don the jersey he wore for so many years.
“He was excited,” Jack said about his dad. “Maybe more excited than me. He loved this organization, loved this city… He’s excited to be back.”
