2001 All-Star Game Fitted: New Era Drops Historic Mariners Championship Season Tribute

New Era just dropped an absolute gem with this Navy Blue Seattle Mariners Gray Bottom 2001 All Star Game Side Patch 59FIFTY fitted hat, and it’s a celebration of one of the most dominant seasons in baseball history. Available exclusively at exclusive_fitted for $54.99, this navy and gray colorway features the iconic 2001 All-Star Game side patch commemorating the midsummer classic held at Seattle’s brand-new Safeco Field. The Mariners entered that All-Star break with an incredible 63-24 record and a commanding 19-game lead, well on their way to tying the MLB record with 116 wins.

What makes this hat even more special is the absolutely historic nature of that 2001 All-Star Game. The Mariners shattered records by sending eight players to the All-Star roster, the most in franchise history and a feat that had never been accomplished by any team in MLB history. Even more incredible, all eight Mariners saw action in the game, with teammates Freddy García earning the win and Kazuhiro Sasaki recording the save, marking the first time teammates achieved this combination since saves became official in 1969. The game itself was magical, featuring Cal Ripken Jr.’s emotional farewell All-Star appearance and the American League’s victory sealed by back-to-back homers from Magglio Ordóñez and Derek Jeter.

For collectors, this fitted represents more than just a hat, it’s a tribute to arguably the greatest regular season in Mariners history and one of the most dominant teams ever assembled. With sizes ranging from 7 to 8 available, this piece captures the essence of that magical 2001 season when Seattle baseball reached its absolute peak. The side patch design perfectly commemorates a moment when the baseball world’s attention was focused on the Pacific Northwest and the Mariners’ unprecedented success.
