HALL OF FAME BALLOT ANNOUNCED! Who will comprise the Class of 2025?

[@LOLMAN9538]

Ichiro is an absolute no-brainer

[@Beast44Gaming]

If Ichiro is not a first ballot hall of famer, we officially need to abolish the voting system we currently have for Cooperstown

The question has always been will ichiro be a unanimous selection. Never whether he'll make it first ballot

[@Slim_reaper99]

Huh

[@jamisonweaver3711]

1st ballot? I was gonna say Unanimous.

[@taze27]

Prime years Ichiro was a beast, no pitcher wanted a part of him. Eyes like a hawk at the plate and the outfield. ⚾️

[@VioletRollinz-h7e]

I wonder who will be the writer who wants extra attention and won't vote for Ichiro?

[@Koyomimatic]

word for word... bar for bar...

[@darrenmoonoz]

the same bozos who didnt vote griffey unanimous

[@EverythingIsGuchi]

Jeter was one vote shy of 100%. The only player with 100% is Mariano Rivera.

[@TheAnimalWolverine]

Stolen comment.

[@yunoha2975]

Anyone who does not vote for Ichiro deserves contempt.

[@Batman_Black22]

Ichiro is the Best 🔥

[@bugjuicereviews]

Very telling of CC and Ichiro's careers specifically when you look at the visual quality between their first and last clips.

[@wilburwood8261]

Ichiro was already 27 when he came over to play in MLB Sabathia was only 20 and much younger when he started

[@realmicahmillard]

EASY. ICHIRO, CC, KING FELIX 🔥🔥🔥

[@rocketanalyst]

Agree, but I think Alex and Manny belong too … only reason they are not is because of roids, but hard to tell who wasn’t doing it in that era

[@duggiek1352]

As much as I'd love to see Felix make it, I don't think they'll vote him in.

[@jaymax6127]

💯💯💯

[@wilburwood8261]

Both Santana and Pettitte better than Hernandez

@wilburwood8261 PED Pettitte, you must be high!

[@bigsmokiee55]

Fact these guys are on the ballot makes me feel warm inside. Every ballot from here on I’ll be aware of everyone’s playing career, but with these guys I was a kid watching them, mimicking them, playing baseball: love for the game coming into bloom. Bless ‘em all

[@wilburwood8261]

you are very lucky. 3 hitters and pitchers I idolized while growing up Garvey, Murphy, Mattingly Valenzuela, Gooden, Saberhagen NONE of them made the HOF

[@MrRJC1991]

CC, Felix and Ichiro.

[@channingbloom7125]

Ichiro 100% deserves it.

[@basark314]

Ichiro with the MLB record of 262 hits in a single season and 10 consecutive years of 200+ hits. It should be obvious.

[@hhhaaa7735]

CC, Ichiro,McCann, Zobrist, Abreu,Hunter,Jones,Petite,both Ramirezes, A.Rod,F.Rod,Utley,Wagner, and Bobby Cox (if he's not in there already) get my votes in for the HOF and a trip to Cooperstown

I agree, but on one conditon. Bonds, Clemens, Sosa, McGwire, ManRam, Sheffield, Pettitte, ARod, Whitaker, Grich, Gooden, Hershiser, Delgado, Beltran, should all go in first.

[@ThaChazo]

Ichiro and CC no doubt should go in. Ichiro needs to be unanimous!! He had over 2000 hits in Japan plus his 3000 hits in MLB. He was already 27 years old before he had his 1st mlb hit. Let that sink in. All those Colorado rockies aren't even close!! They played in Colorado, they need to pump out higher averages than the rest of the league.

[@wilburwood8261]

Cmon man, you are incorrect Ichiro had 1,278 hits in Japan, not over 2,000.

[@Erie-Momo-0206]

Ichiro definitely

[@JDVexen]

If Felix gets in, Cooperstown needs to immortalize a bronze plaque of him and Beltre together. Specifically the moment where the King laughed at Beltre's strikeout. ...Please?

[@charliep123]

I have officially reached the point where the guys I grew up watching are eligible for the Hall of Fame and for the first time, a rookie of the year is younger than me.

Ichiro should be a hall of famer

Ichiro deserves it

7:53 Ichiro Suzuki 1. Aug. 28, 2001, @ Tampa Bay Devil Rays Marked his 1st 200th hit in a season of MLB and then reached the 200 hit mark for 10 consecutive seasons in 2010. Earned Rookie of the Year and AL MVP in 2001. 2. May 2, 2005, vs Los Angeles Angels Robbed Garret Anderson of a home run. Won the 10 consecutive Gold Glove Awards till 2010. 3. Aug. 7, 2016, @ Colorado Rockies Marked his 3,000th hit in MLB. Retired with 3,089 hits in MLB (+ 1,278 hits in NPB) in 2019.

[@allainangcao28]

Forget Ichiro's numbers, the impact he had on baseball in general should warrant him a unanimous hall of famer. The first to cross to MLB via posting system, leading to future players like Matsui, Ohtani, Senga, Yamamoto, and soon Roki Sasaki to join MLB, further expanding baseball's popularity.

[@srellison561]

For me, Ichiro is a no-brainer, but there are some great players on this ballot.

Carlos Beltrán should be in the HOF for his career before 2017, he’s still one of my favorite Astros

[@zhuzher]

Love seeing Pedroia on here

[@zhuzher]

And Manny obviously

[@suffixasmr3362]

I’m really hoping for Ian Kinsler, he was my favorite growing up

[@wilburwood8261]

Grich, Dahlen, Whitaker, Utley should go in before Kinsler

[@flutebasket4294]

Besides Ichiro this is a collection of pretty good ballplayers (ie. not good enough for the Hall), and insane-level 'roid heads.

[@mysticwanderer4787]

CC Sabathia, A-Rod, and Ichiro should be first ballot no-brainers IMO.

[@luishumbertovega3900]

A-Rod cannot be 1st ballot, Hello !!! 😳
