Ichiro Suzuki Impersonator Video: Ichiro Wannabe Unintentionally Gets into Game

David DanielsJun 7, 2018

Doppelgangers do exist!  Did anyone else have to do a double take?  

I was thinking, "Wait, the Seattle Mariners are playing; what is Ichiro Suzuki doing in the stands? Is he injured? Wait—if he was injured, he wouldn't be in the stands..."

Then I finally realized what was going on. Ichiro has a twin brother!

Just kidding.

They say impersonation is the greatest form of flattery, but I doubt the real Ichiro was too thrilled when fake Ichiro interfered with Dustin Ackley's ground ball.

Ackley could've most likely gotten to third on the play if fake Ichiro hadn't picked up the ball, but luckily for the Mariners, the umpire awarded Ackley third base anyway. Fortunately for the Oakland A's though, the Mariners stranded Ackley on third the very next at bat.

The Mariners ended up winning the ball game 4-2, but the far bigger story was the fan who thought it was Halloween.

The average impersonator may rock the baseball jersey, cap and a glove, but no, fake Ichiro took it to another level. He brought the jersey, cap, glove, bat, baseball and matching pants.

Fake Ichiro knew what he did right away too, putting his head down in shame. He was probably thinking, "I'm the next Steve Bartman, I'm going to get death threats." Fake Ichiro shouldn't worry though.

Fans were laughing at him, not yelling at him. It wasn't a crucial out he took away; in fact, he didn't even cheat his team out of a base.

And he definitely didn't cost the Mariners a trip to the World Series—he couldn't do that even if he tried.

The ground-ball snag off the dirt may not have affected the outcome of the game (like other fans have done in the past), but the outfit definitely puts fake Ichiro in the Fan Interference Hall of Fame.
