CHICAGO — A 9-year-old Seiya Suzuki sat in the stands of the Tokyo Dome with eyes peeled on New York Yankees outfielder Hideki Matsui as he warmed up for a game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 2004. Now an outfielder for the Chicago Cubs, Suzuki will follow in Matsui's shoes and return for the league's sixth installment of the Japan series in 2025. He'll be joined by Japanese-born Cubs' pitcher Shota Imanaga for two games against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Tokyo Dome on March 18-19.
