Ichiro Suzuki is heading to the Hall of Fame - but he fell one vote short of history. The Japanese outfielder is one of three players announced Tuesday as part of the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame class.

On Tuesday, the former MVP, 10-time All-Star and two-time batting champion was named among the three-player class for the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was joined by CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner. And while there was no surprise as to Ichiro’s induction, there total vote tally was a shock.

While there was plenty to celebrate with Suzuki’s induction, there was one upsetting aspect: Ichiro failed to make it in unanimously by one vote. Suzuki was voted for on 393 out of 394 possible ballots, meaning one voter left the 10-time All-Star off their ballot.
