Del Amo. He was waiting for his wife(average japanese petite woman), I think she was returning something. Saw a 6'2" large asian dude wearing jeans and looked like Irabu so I went up to him. Don't think many people know who he is. Now that I recall, his handshake wasn't strong, so he just came across as a gentle giant(for asian standards think he's was 250). Also, didn't say any words other than oh and thank you, so not sure how well he spoke English.

Very random to hear of this happening. R.I.P. nonetheless.
Irabu was one of, if not the, first players to come from Japan to the MLB, right?

Can't send condolences to someone who took their own life but I do hope he's happy with his decision

A little bit after Nomo. Definitely one of the pioneers.
Too bad that he used his arm up so much by the time he got over here. Dude was throwing 100 in Japan

Damn shame. When Steinbrenner called him a fat toad, it was the beginning of the end

Irabu was 42 and, according to police, his death appears to have been a suicide.
Mary Feuerlicht, a neighbor of Irabu's, told the Associated Press that sheriff's deputies told her that Irabu's wife had left him and took their two young daughters.
"When I saw him for the past month or so he seemed kind of down," she said. "He wasn't kind of perky like I've seen him before."
