Global baseball's hit king Ichiro Suzuki became the first Japanese-born player elected to Major League baseball's Hall of Fame on Tuesday, just one vote shy of unanimous selection.

Ichiro Suzuki is now a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame but somehow, despite his incredible career, the superstar's election was not unanimous. The Major League Baseball world couldn't understand how that was possible.

Ichiro Suzuki has become the first Japanese player to make it to baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani is likely to be the next.
