    All Japanese people have one surname and one given name with no middle name, except for the Japanese imperial family, whose members bear no surname. The given name in Japanese is called the "name" (名前 namae) or "lower name" (下の名前 ****a no namae). The surname is called myōji (苗字 or 名字), uji (氏) or sei (姓). In Japanese, the family name precedes the given name.

    I think it's specific to him. My Seattlite friend has confirmed that his uniform does always say Ichiro and always has.
    There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.

    Yes, it does (and has). I remember reading an article about it 3 or 4 years ago. Sorry, but I have no idea what the periodical was. If I remember correctly, it's simply that that's the way he wanted it.

    Maybe LaRussa shouldn't manage the Reds next season after the Rowand over Pujols move.

    Castro wasn't available, I guess...
