  2001 would see the end of one era and the beginning of another in Mariners History. In the off season the Mariners would lose baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez after he signed a record contract with the Texas Rangers. The team would offset the loss by signing Japanese baseball star Ichiro Suzuki. In his first season he would claim the American League Most Valuable Player, the American League Rookie of the Year, and a Gold Glove Award. Ichiro would lead the team to a record 116 wins in the regular season. In the postseason, the Mariners would defeat the Cleveland Indians in five games. Then in the American League Championship Series the Mariners would lose to the New York Yankees, four games to one. The series would be marked by a delay due to the September 11 terrorist attacks.
