Before making a wildly successful transition into Major League Baseball and becoming the leading vote-getter for the 2001 All-Star Game, Ichiro Suzuki dominated Japan's Pacific League as a phenomenal five-tool player. From 1994 through 2000, Ichiro led the league in batting average for a Japanese-record seven consecutive times and won seven consecutive Gold Gloves in right field. Not surprisingly, he was named to the Pacific League's "Best Nine" in each of the seven years. He is now widely regarded as one of the greatest hitters in baseball history. On the inside back middle tail is the Mizuno Pro manufacturers tag. Attached below are two tags reading “99-” and “51”. Team name (Blue Wave) is done across the front in yellow on blue tackle twill. Player number (51) is done below that in blue tackle twill and on the back in blue on yellow tackle twill. The left sleeve is adorned with an ORIX logo patch and the right sleeve with a KOBE logo patch. Player name (ICHIRO) is done across the back in blue tackle twill. This jersey is properly tagged, presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate wear.
