is ichiro a hall of famer?

[Rocket Scientist]

Of course

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

I remember Pinella saying that dude was so good that he could hit a homerun every time if he wanted to. We know that is bullshyt but for a HOF coach to even say some shyt like that about someone shows how great he was as a hitter.

I think he should be in the hall of fame btw first ballot.
I'm sending this link to a delusional old co worker

What's their argument for why he SHOULDN'T be a hall of famer?

My man was getting me like really upset.
He says u can't in unless you have 300 wins or 3000 hits.

The fact that he came from Japan in his 30s and has like 2800-2900 hits didn't matter to him

So anyways I apologize for taking up bandwidth for a ridiculous question

 

[Ashyneezz]

Imagine if he came over when he was 21-22

That's that old head mentality.
300 wins is going to be a thing of the past.

Buerhle might be able to get to 250

5 time all star (started the game in 2005). 4 gold gloves. 1 perfect game. 1 no hitter. 1 World Series (only pitcher to start & save a game in the Series). 58.2 WAR

fastest paced pitcher in baseball

Potential HOF'er?

 

[ryderldb]

anyone who doesn't vote him in 1st ballot is an idiot

elite defender, 2 time batting champ, 10x All Star. didn't fall off until he was in his late 30's, dude was a terror

There's always gonna be one guy that's not gonna put him on his ballot on some troll shyt. Even willie mays wasn't a 100% 1st ballot hall of famer. To answer the question, without a fukking doubt dude is a first ballot hall of famer. Dude was such a beast. I remember in middle school, this kid came back from Japan over the summer and was rocking one of his Japanese teams jerseys and I was like you broke fukk, buying some bootleg baseball jersey. I was so fukking wrong

Resume's not bad, but I don't think so. Never felt he was one of the top pitchers in the league. He was 5th for Cy Young once, that's not going to get it done.

 

[L&HH]

I don't even watch baseball like that and I know Ichiro. Damn didn't know he came to the league in 30s though

I was watching this game when it happened and still today it's one of the greatest plays i've ever seen:



His 'rookie' year was legendary.
