Ichiro Suzuki’s 2004 Game-Used Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

A Record-Breaking Season

In 2004, Ichiro Suzuki etched his name into the annals of baseball history by shattering George Sisler’s long-standing hit record with an astounding 262 hits in a single season. This remarkable achievement not only underscored Ichiro’s prowess as one of the greatest hitters in Major League Baseball (MLB) history but also solidified his status as a future first-ballot Hall of Fame inductee. His illustrious career, which began in Japan, has been nothing short of extraordinary.

The Jersey’s Unique Features

The jersey in question is a testament to Ichiro’s incredible 2004 season. On the front left tail, it proudly displays the Russell Athletic Authentic manufacturer’s tag, accompanied by a Beckett sticker with the serial number “T33012.” Adjacent to this is a strip tag denoting the year “2004” and three flag tags indicating “+1” SLEEVE LENGTH,” “+2” EXTRA LENGTH,” and the size “46 100% POLYESTER.”

Across the front of the jersey, “MARINERS” is emblazoned in navy blue on teal on silver triple tackle twill. The back features the player name “ICHIRO” in navy blue on teal tackle twill on a white nameplate, with the player number “51” below it in matching tackle twill. The official “MLB” logo patch adorns the back of the collar, while the left sleeve proudly displays the official “Seattle Mariners” embroidered logo patch, with the “Russell” embroidered logo below it.
