Miami Marlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki may look the part of a serious man, but inside the 42-year-old is a joke-maker and he made his comical side known once again Monday during a press conference to discuss his 3,000th hit.

The victim of his joke was once again teammate Justin Bour.

When asked who the most famous person he received congratulations from was, Ichiro named the Marlins first baseman, which incited laughs from the media in attendance.

Bour has been the butt of Ichiro's jokes of late, which began on Sunday after Suzuki became the 30th player in MLB history to reach the 3,000-hit milestone.

To add some context to Ichiro's joke from Sunday, Bour weighs in at 265 pounds.
