Ichiro Suzuki, whose uncanny hitting talent made him a Seattle Mariners icon, became the first Japanese player elected to Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame on Tuesday.

On Tuesday night, the National Baseball Hall of Fame will announce its Class of 2025. Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner are expected to hear their nam

Ichiro will join fellow Hall of Famers Ken Griffey Jr., Edgar Martinez, and Jackie Robinson as the only players to have their uniform number retired by the M's.
