Ichiro Suzuki failed to become the second player elected to the Hall of Fame unanimously, when the results of the 2025 Baseball Writers Association of America results were announced late Tuesday in a live broadcast on MLB Network.
There were 394 ballots received by the Hall of Fame and Ichiro was named on all but one of the ballots. Honestly, this is just ridiculous and I hope the single person who failed to vote for Ichiro is named publicly.
