Aggi eland 2001
NEW YORK (AP) — Ichiro Suzuki won
his fourth Most Valuable Player Award, just
like Barry Bonds. Only the first three came
in Japan.
“There’s no way I can compare the
MVPs in the two countries,” Suzuki said
Tuesday after he became only the second
rookie MVP in the major leagues. “No
matter how many times I won MVP in
Japan, that does not mean I could play with
total confidence.”
Suzuki, who came to the major leagues
after nine seasons in Japan’s Pacific
League, received 1 1 first-place votes and
289 points to win the American League
MVP in balloting by the Baseball Writers’
Association of America.
Jason Giambi, last year’s AL MVP, got
eight first-place votes and 28 1 points. It was
the tightest MVP race since Juan Gonzalez
defeated Alex Rodriguez 290-287 for the
1996 AL award and tied for the lOth-nar-
rowest victory margin since MVP awards
began in 1931.
“I didn’t expect I would be the one to
win,” Suzuki said through a translator.
The only other rookie to win the MVP
was Boston’s Lred Lynn in 1975. Last week,
Suzuki received 27 of 28 first-place votes in
balloting for AL Rookie of the Year.
The 28-year-old outfielder, the first
rookie to win a batting title since Tony
Oliva in 1964, led the AL with a .350
average and topped the major leagues
with 56 stolen bases, impressing voters
with his speed and his strong arm. His
242 hits were a rookie record, the most
for anyone since Bill Terry’s 254 for the
1930 New York Giants.
Suzuki was the Pacific League’s MVP in
1994, 1995 and 1996, and won seven batting
titles before joining the Mariners and
becoming the first Japanese non-pitcher in
the.major leagues.
“A year ago, we made a bid, gasped and
held our breath, wondering what this, guy
really was going to give us,” said Lee
Pelekoudas, the Mariners’ vice president of
baseball administration. “Doing it this
quickly is amazing. He’s done it with digni
ty and professionalism.”
Past AL MVPs include Lou Gehrig, Ted
Williams, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey
Mantle, icons for baseball players in Japan
as well as North America.
“To be among those great legends, great
players, I cannot be a regular, ordinary play-
u
I didn't expect to be the
, .
one to win.
— Ichiro Suzuki
American League MVP
er anymore,” Suzuki said. “I just need to
play to make fans happy ... make my team,
maybe opposing teams, enjoy my play.”
He knows he is raising his profile in the
United States, but it is still nowhere near its
level in Japan.
“Since the season, I went into a hamburger
shop and nobody bothered me,” he said with a
smile at a news conference in Seattle.
Suzuki said it is his variety of skills that
make him an MVP-caliber player.
“I think balance is very important to me,”
he said. “If even one element is missing, I
can’t be a good player.”
Giambi batted .342 with 38 homers and
120 RBIs for the Oakland Athletics, then
became a free agent after the World Series.
He is expected to be one of the most sought-
after free agents, and the New York Yankees
intend to aggressively court him.
Seattle second baseman Bret Boone, who
hit .331 with 37 homers and 141 RBIs, was
third in the balloting with seven first-place
votes and 259 points, followed by Cleveland
second baseman Roberto Alomar (165),
Gonzalez (156) and Rodriguez (141).
“I thought both Boone and Ichiro were
very deserving,” Mariners manager Lou
Piniella said. “I’m pleased to see Ichiro
won. He had an outstanding season. He led
the league in hitting, stolen bases and was
outstanding in right field. But I’m disap
pointed for Boonie. He had and MVP-type
season also.”
Boone also is a free agent, and it is
unclear if he will stay with the Mariners.
“For the 2002 season, I hope we could eat
rice balls together again,” Suzuki said.
He is not bothered by rumors that Seattle
may trade for or sign another leadoff hitter
and drop him down in the batting order. It
would not change Suzuki’s style.
“If I start to hit with only power, I would
get lost with who I am,” he said.
Seattle paid the Orix Blue Wave
$13,125,000 after the 2000 season for the
rights to Suzuki, then gave him a three-year
contract that guaranteed him $14,088,000. It
turned out to be a bargain.
Suzuki, who got a $75,000 bonus for
winning the rookie award, gets a $150,000
bonus for the MVP. Giambi gets $75,000 for
finishing second, Alomar $100,000 for
fourth, Gonzalez $100,000 for fifth and
Rodriguez $50,000 for sixth.
By finishing seventh, Cleveland’s Jim
Thome increased his 2002 base salary from
$7.8 million to $8 million.

CLEVELAND (AP) .—
Browns fullback Mike Sellers
was charged Tuesday with
felony cocaine possession, and
two of his Cleveland teammates
were also charged with felonies
following their arrests in sepa
rate cases in two cities.
Sellers and cornerback
Lamar Chapman, who was
charged with felony drug abuse
for marijuana, were arrested
Monday night following a traf
fic stop in Cleveland.
Just a few hours later in
Pittsburgh, top draft pick
Gerard Warren was also arrest
ed on a charge of carrying an
unlicensed firearm — a felony
in Pennsylvania.
According to a filing in
Cleveland courts, the charge
against Sellers is “based upon
presumption.” A court clerk said
that lab results were still pending.
A dollar bill containing a
white powder suspected of being
cocaine was found in a patrol car
after Sellers and Chapman were
taken to the police station, the
police report said.
Warren, a rookie defensive
tackle who earlier this season
was fined $35,000 by the NFL
for a vicious hit on Jacksonville
quarterback Mark Brunell, was
arraigned Tuesday and released
after posting bond.
Warren is due in court on
Nov. 30.
Police were questioning a
passenger, identified as Percy
Blue, for suspected drug use in
Warren’s Chevy Suburban
parked outside a Pittsburgh
nightclub at 2:35 a.m. when they
spotted an empty gun holster.
According to the police
report. Blue told officers he had
a .45 Clock handgun locked
inside a console in the vehicle.
After towing and searching the
vehicle, police found the gun,
which belonged to Warren.
Warren said his brother,
Corey, a Florida policeman, had
bought the gun for him and he
produced documents showing
ownership. However, Warren
said he had not yet obtained a
license to carry it.
Browns tight end OJ.
Santiago told police he was a
passenger in Warren’s SUV
before entering the club. There
were also three unidentified
female passengers in the vehicle.
The Browns, who earlier in
the day released a statement on
the arrests of Sellers and
Chapman, did not make specific
comments on Warren’s arrest.
Sellers and Chapman are also
facing a list of misdemeanor
charges, including using a vehi
cle to solicit drugs, drug abuse
of marijuana and numerous traf
fic violations.
They are scheduled to appear
in court Wednesday morning.
Sellers was speeding and
swerving in his pickup truck
when police pulled him over
Monday night. Officers found
two bags of marijuana in the
glove box and a “folded” dollar
bill containing a white powder
was found on the backseat of a
patrol car after the players were
taken to the police station, the
police report said.
Browns president Carmen
Policy said the club was investi
gating the arrests.
“We are in communication
with the National Football
League and fully support all
league guidelines and policies,”
Policy said.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello
had no comment.
Sellers’ truck and another
vehicle were pulled over at 10:35
p.m. Monday on the city’s west
side, according to police reports.
Officers said they smelled
marijuana and noticed “several
clumps” of the substance on the
driver-side floor. Chapman, who
was in the passenger’s seat, was
seen putting what later was deter
mined to be a marijuana cigarette
into a soda can, police said.
Police said in addition to the
marijuana in Sellers’ glove com
partment, “three burnt marijuana
blunt cigars” were in the ashtray.
Sellers refused to submit to a
urine test at the jail, police said.
Sellers’ agent, Kenneth
Austin, said he spoke with his
client on Tuesday morning
and that Sellers was apolo
getic and remorseful.
Also, Austin has problems
with the police report.
“It just doesn’t add up,” Austin
said. “There is a lot of speculation,
especially with the cocaine. The
handcuffs were so tight, Mike has
bruises on his wrists. His hands
were behind his back. How could
he reach his front pocket and pull
out a dollar bill?”
