Ichiro and Fukudome in MLB All-Star Game

Both Ichiro Suzuki and Kosuke Fukudome were selected play in the 79th MLB All-Star Game. The two outfielders will play for their respective divisions Ichiro Suzuki for the American League and Kosuke Fukudome for the National League. Eight-time All-Star Ichiro Suzuki, representing the Seattle Mariners, will hit leadoff and start in right field. Chicago Cubs representative Kosuke Fukudome becomes an MLB All-Star team in his rookie season. It's not suprising that he's an MLB All-Star, since he was a four-time All-Star in Japan (he was selected a fifth time in 2006 but declined the invitation due to injury). Tune in tonight at 8 pm ET on FOX and watch the Japanese All-Stars take the field.
