Ichiro Suzuki invites lone writer who left him off HOF ballot to have 'drink together' and 'a good chat'

Ichiro joined Derek Jeter as the only Hall of Famers who fell one vote shy of being unanimous selections.

That dude needs to come clean. MLB should require these ballots to be public.

Oh look, something else went right for the Dodgers.

Yep just like we got with Corbin Carroll. The rich get richer.

I hope we enjoy the next two years of baseball because we are definitely getting a lockout in 2026 thanks to the Dodgers shenanigans.

If anyone in my lifetime deserved 100% vote it was ichiro. he and randy Johnson are my favorite non texas rangers players of all time. I don't see how you can think that someone that spectacular on and off the field is not worthy of a vote.

Everyone over 3000 hits should be in the hall of fame.

Isn’t the case? Is there someone out there with 3,000+ hits and not in the hall of fame?

roid guys like, A-Rod, R. Palmeiro aren't in. and the hit king isn't in. Bonds almost had 3K hits. probably would have if he didn't walk so much.

not sure about "clean" guys that have 3K and not being in. it seems like they all get in if they aren't otherwise marred by controversy. I think they should get over it and realize that guys like Pete Rose and Barry Bonds deserve to be there because they were great players with or without the other stuff and generated a lot of revenue for MLB.

Right. Should’ve said “clean” players.

ok I looked it up and it looks like the only 3K guys not in are Palmeiro, A-Rod, and Pete Rose.
