Attention is focusing on who is the reporter who did not vote for Ichiro Suzuki in the 2025 Major League Hall of Fame vote.
The U.S., the home of Major League Baseball, is even more chaotic than Ichiro's home country of Japan. Japanese public opinion seems to remain neutral.
Japanese media 'Full Count' reported on the 6th 'Ichiro, who boasts a total of 3,089 hits in the Major League, was inducted into the U.S. Baseball Hall of Fame on January 21 for the first time as an Asian player. However, they failed to reach a unanimous vote due to a lack of one vote. After that, the hunt for criminals is overheating,' it reported.
On the 5th, the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) announced the list of reporters who released their ballots.
It is not mandatory to release ballots. The BBWAA only recommends that the ballots be released two weeks after the results are announced.
This year, 394 people voted. Ichiro received 393 votes. There were 321 journalists who released their ballots. They all hit it off. Among the 73 people who did not disclose, there is one who did not select Ichiro.
There is only one unanimous vote in history. Major League Baseball's official website, MLB.com , states that the only one of the 278 people named in the Hall of Fame is New York Yankees legend Mariano Rivera. Ichiro was widely regarded as the best player of his time, but unfortunately, he failed to achieve unanimity.

ESPN, a U.S. sports media outlet, expressed regret, saying, `A reporter who did not choose Ichiro remains a mystery.' The Athletic also expressed discomfort, saying, `We still don't know who didn't vote for Ichiro.'
ESPN's Jeff Bankruptcy Reporter wrote on social media that `everyone should release their ballots. This is a matter of course. Responsibility is important, he said, insisting on his personal opinion.
According to the Japanese media Sponizia Nex, Ichiro expressed his extraordinary feeling that it was rather good because it was not unanimous.
Ichiro is pleased beyond words. Looking back, there was a lot going on. Not only were there good things, but there were also a lot of hard things. In the end, we approached each step and met this day"I was thrilled.
Ichiro thinks it's very fortunate that "one vote is lacking. It's even like jitter. It is life to pursue one's own perfection and move on. Life is trying to move on because it is incomplete. I came to think about this again. I'm glad I realized it again," he said, sharing his profound impressions.
Ichiro "There's one person who didn't give me a ticket. I'll invite him to have a drink and have a pleasant chat with him. He hasn't responded yet.
