TOKYO — Ichiro Suzuki has arrived in Tokyo, a sure sign the Major League Baseball season is only days away from starting. Wearing a grey and black hat pulled down to cover most of his head, the 45-year-old Seattle Mariners star slipped quickly through the arrival gate on Friday at Haneda Airport with hundreds of reporters and fans getting only a quick glimpse. The Seattle Mariners and the Oakland Athletics arrived within hours of each other on Friday on charter flights from the United States. They play on Wednesday and Thursday at the Tokyo Dome in the first two games of the 2019 season. After that it’s unclear if he will make the Mariners team, retire, or do something else.
