Seattle Mariners legends Ichiro Suzuki and Felix Hernandez, as well as New York Yankees ace CC Sabathia and Boston Red Sox star Dustin Pedroia, could be among next year's newest Hall of Fame contenders.
With the 2024 National Baseball Hall of Fame election now behind us, it's time to look ahead to 2025, where ESPN's Buster Olney says that Ichiro Suzuki deserves to be a unanimous selection.
Playing in his home country of Japan, Seattle Mariners' legend Ichiro Suzuki threw a complete game shutout against a high school girls baseball team. What???
On a mound in Japan, former Seattle Mariners' legend Ichiro Suzuki recently held an open pitching practice. The stuff looks pretty good, especially for a 50-year-old outfielder.
