Mariners fans have a lot to be excited about this August. Not only will Seattle continue to grapple with Houston and Texas in the AL West race, but T-Mobile Park will also be honoring Hall-of-Fame outfielder Ichiro Suzuki with a jersey retirement.
One of the best hitters of all time will be commemorated in early August ahead of the Mariners-Rays game. That means no other Mariner will ever be able to wear Ichiro’s No. 51 on their back.

It’s a well-deserved honor for the Mariners star, who ranks 24th in MLB history in total hits. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg for Ichiro Suzuki.
He also holds the record for most hits in a single season (262). He has an MVP, a Rookie of the Year, two Silver Sluggers, 10 All-Star appearances and 10 Gold Gloves. He won two batting titles and took down an All-Star MVP. Not bad for a guy who didn’t join the majors until 27 years old.
