Ichiro Suzuki: Just One Vote Short of Unanimous Hall of Fame Glory

Ichiro Suzuki was officially inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on the night of Tuesday, January 1st, marking a momentous occasion for baseball fans worldwide. By all means, this calls for a grand celebration. While I don't know Ichiro personally, I can confidently say that he's likely far less concerned about the specifics of his induction than his countless devoted fans are. With an astounding 99.7% of the vote, Ichiro fell just one vote shy of becoming only the second player in Major League Baseball history to receive a unanimous selection to Cooperstown.
