Description
Since Ichiro Suzuki officially retired from the MLB in 2019, we have all known he would selected to Cooperstown as soon as he became eligible. Well, time flies, as Ichiro will officially be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame tomorrow. First, Jim will cover Ichiro's arrival in Seattle as a 27-year old rookie right fielder, how seemingly impossible Ichiro's 262-hit season really was, and why Ichiro was Jim's generations Roberto Clemente (8:40). Then, Jim is joined by a number of guests, including 2X MLB All-Star third baseman Jeff Cirillo (29:08), baseball Twitter personality Not Gaetti (39.49), and Baseball Reference's Adam Darowski (51:03), to discuss Ichiro's career and legacy.
