Ichiro Suzuki gives a lucrative offer to a writer who did not vote for him in Baseball Hall of Fame
Ichiro Suzuki had a fantastic career at MLB. Slugger played 19 seasons, mostly with the Seattle Mariners where he did nothing but turned his heads with his game and personality.
Just a few days ago, it was announced that he, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner would be built into the MLB of celebrities. Each player received the need for 75%, and Ichiro was almost unanimous.
Ichiro received 393 of 394 votes and one writer left on the ballot. That lonely writer caught the attention of Suzuki, who gave him a lucrative offer to better understand why he lost their ballot.

“I managed to receive a lot of votes from writers and I am grateful for them, but there is one writer I was unable to vote. I would like to invite him to my house and we will drink a drink together and we will talk well,” Suzuki said his interpreter.
Much of the community baseball agrees that it was a mistake. Certainly during his career he played the caliber of Hall of Fame and is a fantastic ambassador for sports.
Mariners who were supposed to withdraw Ichiro Suzuki’s no. 51
Ichiro Suzuki wore number 51 when he played in Japan. When he came to the United States, he said Sailors The front office did not have a uniform tendency for a number, but they gave him 51 anyway.
Now no one is organized by Mariners again that number again. Seattle should withdraw the number in August as part of the Ichiro Hall of Fame weekend. Ichiro will join Ken Griffey Jr. and Edgar Martinez, who also retired the number of jersey in Seattl.
