Starbucks, Major League Baseball & the Seattle Mariners have joined forces to create a unique and limited-edition Starbucks Card featuring Ichiro Suzuki that benefits seriously ill children. This one-of-a-kind Card was only available through Starbucks.com and in stores in Washington, Oregon and Japan beginning in April 2005. It was originally pre-loaded with $10, which is still loaded with $10.00. $2 from each sale will go to charities including the Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation in the U.S. and Make-A-Wish of Japan. Collectors Note: This Card and Sleeve combination is pre-packaged in shrink-wrap, a first for Starbucks Cards. 

More about Ichiro Suzuki

At twenty-years old, Ichiro Suzuki won his first Japanese batting title. The speedy outfielder won five more batting crowns before leaving to play in the major leagues with the Mariners for the 2001 season. Seattle paid more than $13 million to obtain Ichiro. The first Japanese position player to sign in the major leagues, Ichiro took the league by storm in 2001, hitting well over .400 for nearly a month. The leadoff man helped lead the M's to a record-tying 116 wins and his play made him a pop icon, especially in the Pacific Northwest. Proving that his level of play was major league-caliber, Ichiro paced the majors in hits (242), and won the AL batting title at .350. It was the eighth straight year he had led his league in batting. In right field he amazed opponents and fans with his rocket throws and range. He emerged as baseball's most fundamentally sound ballplayer, as well as a superstar with a modest personality. In 2004, Ichiro broke George Sisler's 84-year old record for hits in a season, as he racked up an incredible 262 hits.
