The National Baseball Hall of Fame elected three deserving players Wednesday: CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner and Ichiro Suzuki. Having had excellent careers, it’s easy to see why the Baseball Writers’ Association of America cast their ballots for these three.

In Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner, the Baseball Writers Association delivered quite an eclectic trifecta to Cooperstown on Tuesday. The first Japanese player ever elected to the Hall of Fame, a reformed alcoholic, and an under-sized, under-rated strikeout artist from rural Virginia who finally made it in his last year on the ballot.

Former Yankees Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia joined former Met Billy Wagner on Thursday at a news conference about being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

The BBWAA recognized CC Sabathia’s prolonged excellence by voting the former Yankees left-hander into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Ichiro Suzuki will be the first Japanese player to enter the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and he'll be joined by CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner in the Class of 2025.

Ichiro Suzuki, C.C. Sabathia and Billy Wagner were elected as the newest members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, the museum announced.

The trio of stars, each of whom spent part of their career in New York, will be inducted in Cooperstown on July 27.

Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia were elected to Baseball’s Hall of Fame on Tuesday night, Suzuki in overwhelming fashion, while Billy Wagner made the most of his 10th and final appearance on the ballot, clearing the 75% barrier to inclusion by earning 325 of 394 votes.

Ichiro Suzuki has made even more history. The all-time great hitter is heading to Cooperstown, with C.C. Sabathia and Billy Wagner joining him.

Ichiro Suzuki, Billy Wagner, and C.C Sabathia were in the Cooperstown Museum for the first time on Thursday as Hall of Famers.

Ichiro Suzuki wants to raise a glass with the voter who chose not to check off his name on the Hall of Fame ballot.
