Ichiro Suzuki is heading to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame after receiving 99.7% of the votes in the recent election cycle. The Japanese-born MLB legend will be remembered as one of the best to ever play the sport, and he will be enshrined in Cooperstown this summer.
Since the big announcement, Ichiro has been making the rounds and recently visited a Japanese clothing manufacturer. This visit stirred up social media as fans reacted to the mannequins modeled after the MLB star.
