Legend’s Honorable Challenge, Ichiro, and MLB’s ‘Honorary Hall of Fame’ Challenge

The legend is aiming to enter the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame.

The Major League Hall of Fame announced on the 19th 14 new and existing candidates who could be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2025.

The new candidates included Ichiro Suzuki, pitchers C.C. Sabathia, Felix Hernandez, Fernando Rodney, catchers Russell Martin, Brian McCann, infielders Dustin Pedroia, Henry Ramirez, Ian Kinsler, Troy Tulowitzki, Ben Zobrist, outfielders Carlos Gonzalez, Curtis Granderson and Adam Jones

The most likely candidate is Ichiro. Japanese batter Ichiro started his career in the big league by joining the Seattle Mariners in 2001 after playing in the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB). He had 242 hits, a batting average of 0.350 and 56 stolen bases in his first year in the big league, and won the American League Rookie of the Year and the Most Valuable Player award at the same time.

He was even called a “hitting machine.” He had 200 or more hits and a batting average of over 300 for the 10th consecutive year from 2001 to 2010. He was named the batting champion of the American League in 2001 and 2004. Notably, he was on fire in 2004. He had 262 hits, the most in a big league season. His achievements are legendary. He was named an All Star for the 10th consecutive year from 2001 to 2010. At the same time, he won the Gold Glove Award for the 10th consecutive year. He had a batting average of 0.311, 3089 hits, 117 homers, 780 RBIs, 1420 runs and 509 stolen bases in 2,653 games during the 19th season. This is what Ichiro wrote before he retired in 2019 at the age of 46.

He is aiming for a unanimous Hall of Fame entry. 토토사이트.COM said, “Ichiro is most likely to join the Hall of Fame. The key is unanimous decision.” Mariano Rivera is the only player who has been inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2019.

Joining the Hall of Fame is only possible if more than 75 percent of the votes cast by reporters with more than 10 years of experience in the American Baseball Journalists Association (BBWAA). The voting will run until January 1, and the results will be announced on January 22, 2025.
