After establishing a Hall-of-Fame-worthy career in Japan, Ichiro Suzuki took little time to prove he was as legitimate as it gets. In his first season with the Seattle Mariners, Suzuki earned the American League Rookie of the Year Award and the AL MVP. Suzuki led the league in hits, stolen bases and batting average, and for good measure earned a Gold Glove Award, the year of this jersey. A future first ballot Hall of Fame inductee, Suzuki has proven to be one of the best hitters in baseball history. On the front left tail is the Russell Athletic manufacturer’s tag with washing instructions. Below is a tag with the year, “2001” printed on it and a flag tag that reads, “48 100% POLYESTER”. Across the chest reads, “MARINERS” in silver on navy blue on teal triple tackle twill. Across the back reads the player name, “ICHIRO” on a navy blue nameplate and below is the player number “51”. These are done in silver on teal tackle twill. On the left sleeve is an embroidered patch that reads, “ALL STAR GAME 2001 SEATTLE” and below is a Russell Athletic logo embroidered. This jersey is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use.
