The Hall of Fame presented the new members of its 2025 generation on Thursday: Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sapadia and Billy Wagner in a live event from Coersstown.
When they shared their views on choosing for this honor, the trio wore uniforms and hats of the Hall of Fam.
“I have come to the Hall of Fame as a player seven times,” Ichiro said. “This is my eighth time here, what respect is to be a member. This is a very special moment.”
Ichiro became the first player from the Japanese country to be elected at the Hall of Fame last night!

The Japanese legend, which ended his life with 3,089 victories, was elected with 99.7% of the votes, voting as the second consensus member of the Hall of Fem after the Panamania Mariano Revra. Even Ichiro made fun of the writer who did not include him on the ballot.
“I was able to get many votes from the writers. I am grateful for that, but I have a writer who has not voted.” “I want to call him my house. I want to take something together and hold a good conversation.”
After registering 3,093 strikeouts in his life with Cleveland, Browsers and The Yankeez, Susuki went with Susuki as one of the other in their first year of their first year. Sabadia, carrying the Yankees cap in her room in the living room, remembered how quickly he felt how he felt quickly felt at home in Franks after his arrival in Yankees, which led to their 27th World Series Championships.
