A new statue of Mariners legend Ichiro Suzuki was formally unveiled Friday outside T-Mobile Park — but the statue's bat broke during the ceremony.
The incident prompted laughs and jokes among Ichiro and other Mariners greats who were on hand for the ceremony, including Ken Griffey Jr.
The statue was quickly repaired.
