(Reuters) - Ichiro Suzuki got a chance to experience life atop the mound on Sunday when the Miami Marlins let the veteran outfielder pitch
the eighth inning of their season finale against Philadelphia.
Ichiro, who has more than 4,000 combined hits in Japan and the major leagues, surrendered two hits and one run during his one inning on the mound.
"I used to pitch in high school and did pitch in an All Star Game in Japan," Ichiro told reporters following Miami's 7-2 defeat.
