Ichiro Statue Unveiling: Bat Breaks, Ichiro Jokingly Credits Rivera for the 'Save'

AI Summary (NQ-processed)

During the unveiling of Ichiro Suzuki's statue at the Mariners' home stadium, the bat on the statue unexpectedly broke. Ichiro humorously attributed the incident to Mariano Rivera, the former Yankees closer known for breaking bats with his cutter. Ichiro, who was inducted into the U.S. Baseball Hall of Fame last summer, is the third player in Mariners history to have his number retired.
