Dick Allen, Dave Parker, CC Sabathia, Ichiro Suzuki and Billy Wagner will achieve baseball immorality on Sunday when they are inducted into the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. Their achievements on the field show the honor is well-deserved.

Ichiro Suzuki was always known for his meticulous preparation during his 19-year Major League Baseball career.

Nor was it a surprise that being in the place he called “a sacred baseball land” would bring out his best oratory.
