Ichiro Suzuki was the center of attention from the time the Seattle Mariners arrived in Japan.
On the opening night of the Major League Baseball season however, he shared the spotlight with Dustin Ackley.
Ichiro finished with four hits and an RBI, Ackley homered in the fourth inning and drove in the go-ahead run in the 11th, and the Mariners defeated the Oakland Athletics 3-1 in front of 44,227 fans at Tokyo Dome in the first game of the 2012 MLB season.
