Now an executive with the team, Ichiro Suzuki wore a disguise and sneaked into the Seattle Mariners' dugout Thursday to watch some action at Yankee Stadium.

Suzuki isn't allowed to be in the dugout during games under Major League Baseball rules. The 44-year-old came off the Seattle roster in early May and moved into the team's front office as a special assistant to the chairman.

He has been taking part in pregame drills and batting practice in a role similar to a coach, but he's required to leave the bench when games begin.

Associated Press photographer Bill Kostroun spotted Suzuki with his face nearly covered by a fake mustache, sunglasses and a gray hoodie drawn tight over his head during in the first inning as the Yankees hit a pair of two-run homers.
