Ichiro Suzuki could join Mariano Rivera as the only unanimous picks for baseball’s Hall of Fame and CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner and Carlos Beltrán also could be elected when results

Ichiro Suzuki has become the first Japanese player chosen for baseball’s Hall of Fame, voted in along with CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner.

This year’s Hall of Fame election results will be revealed on Tuesday, with Ichiro Suzuki expected to glide into Cooperstown with an overwhelming amount of support.

Ichiro Suzuki becomes the first Japanese player chosen for baseball’s Hall of Fame, falling one vote shy of being a unanimous selection.

Ichiro Suzuki has made even more history. The all-time great hitter is heading to Cooperstown, with C.C. Sabathia and Billy Wagner joining him.

To this point, only famed Yankee closer Mariano Rivera has been elected to the Hall of Fame unanimously — not Babe Ruth, not Hank Aaron, not Ken Griffey Jr. nor Derek Jeter, just Rivera. Could Suzuki be the second?

Wright was among the game’s best all-around players for a decade, serving as a Gold Glove third baseman, a perennial .300 hitter with power and speed, almost single-handedly keeping the lowly New York Mets out of the gutter.
