outfielder Ichiro Suzuki made the Major League
Hall of Fame as suspected by everyone in Seattle
anyway.
Ichiro as he was just called got every vote except
one by the baseball writer who were eligible to
vote. My opinion that writer should never get the
privilege to vote again. Under these circumstances
they should have thrown out vote.
Ichiro made the Hall of Fame along with pitchers
CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner. If I had a vote they
would have been the only three I vote for though
you can vote for ten players who are eligible.
In his press conference Tuesday Ichiro had no
idea when he came to Seattle he would end up
making the Hall of Fame. I am sure none of
us thought that either and he becoming one of
the great hitters of all time.
The Seattle Mariners announced they are retiring
Ichiro uniform number 51. If you remember another
good Mariners player pitcher Randy Johnson wore
that number before Ichiro. No one will wear it again,
I am sure every long time Mariners fans remember
on April 11 2001 Ichiro threw out Oakland A's outfielder
Terrence Long at third base. This is the same year the
Mariners won 116 games, Ichiro was named rookie
of the Year and Most Valuable Player in the American
League. We were able to see many more catches by
Ichiro as well as many memorable hits. Thanks Ichiro.
We glad you spend the baseball season still in Seattle.
Ichiro also got a call from another former Mariners
outfielder in Ken Griffey Jr. to congratulate him.
Go M's.
