Something tells me that if Ichiro Suzuki showed up at a Tokyo steakhouse, he wouldn’t have to wait in line to get teammate Michael Saunders’ autograph.
But that’s exactly what happened. Kinda.
Apparently, the Seattle Mariners superstar has a doppleganger and, naturally, he took it upon himself to show up at an autograph signing Monday…dressed exactly like the ten-time All-Star.
“I couldn’t tell the difference,” Saunders said. “It was unbelievable. Full uni, the facial hair, everything. That was dead on. That was really good.”
This past season Ichiro finished with a career-low .272 batting average and 184 hits, the first time in his 11-year Major League career he did not record 200 hits.
So, if that trend continues…perhaps it’s time to call in his stunt double.
