Hall of Fame, Ichiro Suzuki

Who's the one Hall of Fame voter who didn't find Ichiro Suzuki worthy? It wasn't me!
In my business, that knee-jerk response comes in handy. Fending off blame is a survival skill. A columnist knows he can’t fight a tidal wave of angry emails and social-media posts and, at some point, gives up trying to argue that he is not, in fact, a nitwit. From there, it’s a short hop to a renunciation of any personal responsibility.

Worthy: A hat tip to Ichiro Suzuki for getting to the Hall of Fame one base at a time
Willie McGee won the National League MVP or the 1985 season, in which he hit just 10 home runs. McGee also batted .353. Vince Coleman scored 107 runs that season, and he had more than three times as many stolen bases (110) as he had extra-base hits (31). The leading home run hitter on the team, Jack Clark, hit just 22 homers.

Hall of Fame: So who’s the idiot who dissed Ichiro Suzuki? | Klapisch
Of course I voted for Ichiro Suzuki - along with the other no-brainers on the ballot, including CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner. Pity that Carlos Beltran came up short again, and that Andruw Jones is still stuck in no man’s land.

BBWAA secretary-treasurer Jack O’Connell recalled Suzuki was at the Hall in 2001 when he called to inform the Seattle star he had been voted AL Rookie of the Year. Suzuki received 27 of 28 first-place votes, all but one from an Ohio writer who selected Sabathia.

Ichiro Suzuki had a great message for the one baseball writer who left him off the Hall of Fame ballot
There was no surprise when it was announced that Ichiro Suzuki would enter the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. What was a surprise, though, was that one baseball writer didn’t think Ichiro deserved first-ballot consideration.
