He was nearly a unanimous entry into the Hall of Fame, appearing on all but one ballot when they were revealed in January. He spent 19 years in the big leagues with the Mariners, New York Yankees and Miami Marlins. He is the third Mariners player ever in the Hall of Fame, joining Ken Griffey Jr. and Edgar Martinez.
He is also the first Japanese player in the Hall of Fame.
Ichiro will be further honored in Seattle this August. He'll have his No. 51 retired by the Mariners on Aug. 9 against the Tampa Bay Rays.
