"Mariners right fielder Ichiro Suzuki is donating 100 million yen, which equates to about $1.25 million, to the Japanese Red Cross for earthquake and tsunami relief efforts, according to the Kyodo News Agency.

Ichiro has yet to comment publicly on the situation in his homeland.

Meanwhile, the Mariners are asking fans and front-office personnel to help out the Japanese relief funds as well, and have promised to match all donations made at Safeco Field during their opening six-game homestand next month."
