Seattle Mariners legend and Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki tries to hold back his tears after his team announced his jersey retirement.

Ichiro Suzuki received a special honor on Tuesday when he was elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Now, the team he spent most of his career

Ichiro Suzuki, a name synonymous with baseball greatness, crafted a career that transcended borders and captivated fans worldwide, establishing an enduring legacy that continues to resonate, especially in Seattle.

Ichiro Suzuki is unquestionably one of the best baseball players ever to grace this planet. His 3,089 hits compiled throughout his career ranks as 25th on Major League Baseball's all-time list. He was a 10-time All-Star and a 10-time Gold Glove winner through his 19-year career.

Hank Aaron once told me his election into the Hall of Fame was the “greatest thrill I had in baseball” and the “greatest thing that ever happened to me as an individual.” Not once did he mention that nine voters left him off the ballot.
