Mike,

Some very good points!

What do you think about the claim by MastroNet that Ichiro both signed and inscribed the bat? I don't know about you, but I think even a casual observer would surely realize that Ichiro just didn't have the English writing skills to make this possible.

Forget about the videotape, just use common sense. If I had only spent a couple of months in Japan and had little or no prior knowledge of their language, would I be able to write my name and pen an inscription that read, "gamer" and then "Yomiuri Giants" and finally "O.Night" -- ALL IN JAPANESE???
