Before making his historic jump to Major League Baseball, Ichiro Suzuki dominated Japan's Pacific League (now Nippon Professional League) as a phenomenal five-tool player. From 1994 through 2000 with the Orix Blue Wave, he won a record seven straight batting titles as well as seven consecutive Gold Gloves in right field. The Japanese hit king wore this Orix jersey during his final campaign overseas in 2000. Of course, his first season with the Seattle Mariners in 2001 was nothing short of spectacular. Ichiro was the leading vote-getter for the 2001 All-Star Game and was the unanimous American League Rookie of the Year. He was also named AL MVP after winning the batting title with a .3509 average and setting the MLB single-season hit record with 262 knocks. After nine seasons in Japan and 19 years in the Majors, Ichiro stands behind only Pete Rose for the most combined hits (4,367) in professional baseball.
This 2000 navy blue Orix Blue Wave jersey features "ORIX" across the chest and Ichiro's famous number "51" below in yellow tackle twill. "ICHIRO" is emblazoned in yellow tackle twill across the upper back with the number "51" just below in the navy with yellow tackle twill borders. The left sleeve displays a "Blue Wave" team logo patch and the right sleeve features both a Blue Wave team logo with a "KOBE" (name of stadium where they play) patch just below. Mizuno manufacturer's tagging is located inside back tail with a white strip tag reading "00 - 51" similar to other exemplars. The V-neck shirt with yellow trim around the collar and sleeves displays light wear with minor fraying.
