Mariners retire number 51 of Ichiro Suzuki

The Seattle Mariners are doing great right now. They have won nine of their last 10 games, and have got themselves into contention in the American League West Division title. However on Saturday, they took time to celebrate one of the greatest Mariners of all-time in Ichiro Suzuki of Aichi, Japan. Suzuki’s number 51 was retired by the Mariners prior to their 7-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

Seattle honoured Suzuki the same year he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. He was inducted alongside pitchers CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner, outfielder Dave Parker and corner infielder Dick Allen.
