I'd like to thank my friend Erick for pointing me to the following website, that points out that Ichiro is in fact, his first name, and not his last, as many have contended in the past. Apparently, "ICHIRO" started in the Japan League as a promotional stunt and embarrassingly carried over to our great game. I say, "Ban it!"

Thanks again, Erick.
