COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Ichiro Suzuki was always known for his meticulous preparation during his 19-year Major League Baseball career.
For his induction into the Hall of Fame? Not so much.
“Of course, I’m nervous and I probably should be preparing more, but this morning I actually went to the field, long tossed and kind of ran and did my workout, so I guess for me that was more important,” Suzuki said Saturday through an interpreter on the eve of his enshrinement.
Suzuki is the first Japanese player chosen for the Hall and fell one vote shy of becoming the second unanimous selection.
