Whoever left Ichiro deserves all of the ire coming their way, but they’ll never get it. It’s just like the lone voter who left Derek Jeter off of their ballot five years ago.

Ichiro Suzuki became the first Japanese player chosen for baseball’s Hall of Fame, falling one vote shy of unanimous when he was elected along with CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner.
