Back in Seattle Mariners colors for the first time in more than five years, Ichiro Suzuki cherished the moment during his spring training debut Sunday.

"It was a special moment for me to wear the Mariners uniform again and be out on the field," Ichiro said through interpreter Allen Turner, according to the Seattle Times. "It was very special for me today."

Ichiro, 44, went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts but said he was happy with his at-bats and that it was good to get the practice in.

The Mariners will look to manage his playing time this season.
