#1 Michael not only did former Seattle Mariner Ichiro Suzuki was voted in for enshrinement but all the talk was that he missed getting unanimously voted in by one vote.

#2 One of the highlight achievements of Ichiro’s career was that he surpassed George Sisler’s single hit season record on Oct 1, 2004 with his 258th hit.

#3 Michael, take about Vallejo native and newly Hall of Fame inductee former New York Yankee pitcher CC Sabathia who retired at the age of 44 pitching from 2001 to 2019. Winning 251 games with an ERA 3.74.

#4 Former Houston Astros pitcher Billy Wagner was voted into the Hall of Fame on his tenth and final Hall of Fame ballot wining by 82.5%. Wagner was 47-40 career with an ERA of 2.31.

#5 To close out this segment since were talking about Hall of Famers who made it let’s talk about maybe the one player you could think of that has not and is not in the Hall of Fame that you personally feel deserves to be in the Hall of Fame?
