Ichiro

I LOVE baseball, but is Ichiro the Madonna of Baseball?
I've noticed that he just goes by Ichiro now. Why is he so special that he can just use his first name? I have noticed that when Ichirio Suzuki's stats are being compared to other players, the other players have their first and last names while Ichiro is just ICHIRO. Addtionally, the name on the back of his jersey says, "Ichiro" rather than "Suzuki." Has any other baseball player achieved the diva status that Ichiro has? Did Babe Ruth have, "Babe" written on his jersey? I think not.

Yao Mind goes by Yao.

It's an international thing. Like Pele and other soccer players

Does his jersey say "Yao?"
