Major League Baseball today is played a lot differently than it was in previous eras. The game today involves a lot of home runs and a lot of strikeouts, while in previous eras, batting average and getting on base was more of a focus.

Congratulations are in order for Seattle Mariners legend Ichiro Suzuki, who earned election to the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame on Thursday. The Mariners posted the news on social media. This is just one of two Halls of Fame that Ichiro will earn election to this month,

Ichiro Suzuki, whose outstanding play in Japanese baseball led him to international stardom in the major leagues, was inducted into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.

The ever-smiling legend, Ichiro Suzuki, was just inducted into the Japanese Hall of Fame, and his name has also been nominated for the US National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Baseball Hall of Fame class will be announced Tuesday, and Ichiro is certain to get the call. Will he also have the honor of a unanimous vote?
