Ichiro is such an icon. A rare player whose name just makes you think of his iconic pose and gently guiding the ball to places the defense couldn’t reach. Congrats to Ichiro for becoming a hall of famer and paving the way for the rest of Japan.
Ichiro is one of the greatest hitters baserunners and outfielders with a ten time gold glove, hit a record 262 hits in a season and 10 straight years with over 200 hits, and he's only the seven player in history with over 3,000 hits and 500 SBs, a true legend in baseball.
CC Sabathia is a first-ballot MLB Hall of Famer. Glad to say I was attendance at Yankee Stadium on October 7, 2009 for the first playoff game in the new stadium where CC Sabathia got the win. - 2009 World Series Champion - 2009 ALCS MVP - 2007 A.L. Cy Young - 251 wins - 3,093 strikeouts

@@peytongritt5953 Very roughly translate,”To a fans in Japan, I’m very honored to announce Ichiro Suzuki who is a first ever Japanese player to be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. I look forward to welcoming many of you to the museum in Coopers town this summer.” His speech was very polite, and I felt respected as a Japanese fan. Even for Japanese, that manner is hard to pull off.
Ichiro started his MLB career at age 27 and still got over 3,000 hits, imagine if he started at age 20 he would've had over 4,000 hits, Ichiro already has the most hits ever more then Rose combine.
イチローさん、Hall of Fame 殿堂入りおめでとうございます🎉 17:08 Mr. Josh Rawitch, Thank you for your message for Japanese fans 🇯🇵 Your speech in Japanese is amazing 😄 I definitely want to visit National Baseball Hall of Fame Museum in the future.
Ichiro should have been unanimous! The writer that didn't vote for him should have his right to vote taken away! Same with the guy that did that to Jeter!
Ichiro is a once in a generation player. It will be a while before we have another Japanese players gets elected in the hall of fame. That player will be Shohei Ohtani who no doubt could be elected unanimously when it is all set and done.
Only racist Mark Gooden@National Inquirer refused to vote for Ichiro for unbelievable reasons. He destroyed MLB fans in Japan and should never vote again. Why he can vote from the beginning? BS.
I’ve been so harsh on the hall of fame but today the news felt like a good moment. Congratulations to Billy Wagner, one of the best closers of all times. One of the best fastballs of all times 🫡🫡🫡🫡
Ichiro is one of my all time favorite players ever.

Ichiro had been amazing! I had really wanted to watch the game in Seattle.
There needs to be an investigation to the 1 vote against Ichiro
It is probably something petty like, “screw him, he was late to give me a quote.”
There’s always one
Congrats to them all!

Add on Pete’s minor league hits then.. most of his hits didn’t lead to much winning tho either
おめでとう！イチロー！
活躍をハイライトでしか見れない時代でしたが
それが楽しみでした
Dignity to all recipients. Good job, Cooperstown!
Ichiro is a goat 🥳
Stellar class of inductees. One of the best ever.
ICHIRO SUZUKI🇯🇵🗾⚾️
I'm crying all day for cc and ichiro
They definitely deserved to be HOFs
Ichiro is goated with the sauce
イチロー、あなたは永遠のヒーローです。MLB殿堂入りおめでとうございます㊗️
That one Ichiro no vote needs to not vote again. Ridiculous logic to not vote for him. Obvious HOFer
I bet you it is some BS reason like “ichiro skipped out on my interview because he was late for a flight.”
It was the same one who didn't vote.for Derek Jeter.
Congrats my boi Ichiro 🇯🇵
豪腕ビリー・ワグナーの号泣に感動した。ラストチャンスの10度目のノミネートだったんですね。
米国野球殿堂入りすることがどれほど名誉な事か……彼の姿を見て、改めてよくわかりました。

*I was surprised that Billy Wagner-San hadn't been selected until now.

Not voting for Ichiro should disqualify you from voting
Awesome intro!

If Harold Baines and Dave Parker can get in then its time for Lou Whitaker and Vada Pinson to get in. Happy for all the new inductees.
Same goes for Steve Garvey.
What is his name?
I need the subbed version Please 🙏 like I love this man, but I cant understand him 💀💀
イチローの殿堂入りおめでとうございます🎉満票の殿堂入りは大谷が資格得るまでないだろう。
No Andrew Jones!!?
The whole domestic violence thing.
He's got 2 more years. He'll make it. I hope next year so he doesn't have to sweat it out til the last chance.
No Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens once again smh
Hopefully next year
They've been off the ballot for years.
Pettite cheated. Felix didnt.

Only name i wanna see is Barry Mutha Freakin Bonds!!!!

MLB is obsessed with japaneses 😂
Ichiro wasn't deserving, regardless of national origin?
