Ichiro Suzuki was among the few Japanese players who transitioned well from Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball to Major League Baseball.

On the day that CC Sabathia and Ichiro Suzuki were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, Yankees Aaron Judge and Derek Jeter offered their congratulations.

Baseball legend Ichiro Suzuki was announced as a baseball Hall of Famer on Tuesday, becoming the 62nd first-ballot Hall of Famer and the first Japanese baseball player to be elected to Cooperstown. There was no doubt that Ichiro,

Ichiro Suzuki just got elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Ichiro was one vote shy of unanimous. The same happened with Derek Jeter in 2020: He got every vote but one. Like then, there’s a battle cry to reveal who didn’t vote for Ichiro.

If that remains the case when the final results are released by the Baseball Writers Association of America on Tuesday, Ichiro will be the first Japanese-born player in the Hall of Fame and just the second player ever to be unanimously elected to Cooperstown.

Former New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter reacted to his former teammate Ichiro Suzuki’s Hall of Fame induction.

Former Seattle Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki made history as the first Japanese player to earn induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame, but fell just one vote shy of being a unanimous selection.

It won't be official until the voting is released, but Ichiro Suzuki is heading to the Hall of Fame.  The Japanese outfielder is expected to be one of the names inducted into Cooperstown in the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame class.

CC Sabathia officially became the latest longtime Yankee to reach the Baseball Hall of Fame when the voting by the Baseball Writers Association of America was announced Tuesday night, sending Sabathia to Cooperstown along with Ichiro Suzuki and former Mets reliever Billy Wagner.

Ichiro Suzuki made it into the Hall of Fame on Tuesday and Derek Jeter was one of the first people to congratulate him.

Whoever left Ichiro deserves all of the ire coming their way, but they'll never get it. It's just like the lone voter who left Derek Jeter off of their ballot five years ago. We still don't know who did that and that's Derek freakin' Jeter, guys. If we're not finding out who did it for him, then we're certainly not finding out for Ichiro.

CC Sabathia has made it clear he wants to go into the Baseball Hall of Fame as a New York Yankee, calling the organization his home. He was welcomed to baseball’s most prestigious club by his former teammate Derek Jeter and joins another in Mariano Rivera. There is no shortage of Yankees in Cooperstown.
