All-Star right fielder and Seattle Mariners legend Ichiro Suzuki was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025. But even as Ichiro was awarded the honor alongside CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner, it was his speech that stole the show.

Former Mariner Ichiro Suzuki makes humorous reference to the voter who snubbed him during his Hall of Fame speech

Ichiro Suzuki and his wife, Yumiko Fukushima, have been married for over two decades, sparking curiosity in their enduring relationship. Suzuki is a former baseball outfielder whose recent Hall of Fame speech drew much attention.

For the greater part of the 2000s, Ichiro single-handedly filled Seattle's gap in star power. He's a true Hall of Famer — emphasis on the fame.

Soon-to-be Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki shares why sitting out much of 2018 with the Seattle Mariners was one of his biggest accomplishments.

When Bryan Woo gets to the field every day, Ichiro Suzuki is already there. Taking batting practice. Shagging fly balls. Playing catch. He hangs around after too, offering any advice he can to the current generation of Mariners players.

“Lou Piniella was very skeptical,” said Larry Stone, a Seattle Times baseball writer who has covered Ichiro’s career extensively. “That spring training, Ichiro started off not pulling the ball, not driving the ball. And Lou was like, ‘Who is this guy? When is he going to show me something?’”

Ichiro Suzuki's sense of humor was on full display Sunday, when he joined CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner, Dave Parker and Dick Allen in baseball's Hall of Fame.
