From our insider from a another baseball world ruled by Bud Selig .....Ichiro.

Ichiro resides in the same city  as the number 2 starter for the Richmond team. Kasugai, Japan know for its beautiful gardens (not pictured). What Ichiro was able to find out from a telephone conversation with the veteran Tony Kim was that he feels at home in Richmond and that spring training is going very well. Tony went on to add, " I just wish someone could make some good sushi out here". 

Well I am sure Ichiro will send some some sushi to his old friend out on the east coast maybe on "Tony Kim Bobble Head Night" for the 8/25 am scheduled game against Baltimore ..... the big guns.
