Baseball: Former MLB, NPB superstar Suzuki pitches and bats again

Ichiro Suzuki, who retired from professional baseball in March, returned
to the diamond as an amateur on Sunday, batting and pitching in a
sandlot-level game against a team of high school teachers.

Using the rubber baseball common to the form of the game known as
"kusayakyu" in Japanese, the game was played at Hotto Motto Field Kobe,
where Suzuki rose to fame in 1994 in the first of his three consecutive
Pacific League MVP seasons.
