SEATTLE (Reuters) - The Seattle Mariners named Don Wakamatsu as their manager on Wednesday, making the 45-year-old former catcher the first Asian-American to manage in Major League Baseball. "This is something I've looked forward to for a long time," Wakamatsu told the official major league website mlb.com. Wakamatsu, who played 18 games for the 1991 Chicago White Sox, takes the helm of a team that lost 101 games last season after serving as bench coach for the 2008 Oakland Athletics. He replaces interim manager Jim Riggleman. Before joining Oakland, Wakamatsu coached the Texas Rangers from 2003-07, including four seasons as bench coach for manager Buck Showalter.
