In 2025, Ichiro achieved the top number of votes and was inducted into the American Baseball Hall of Fame. This is a commemorative Ichiro-signed baseball celebrating this historic achievement, the first for a Japanese player. One of only 510, with a certificate of authenticity. Ichiro made his MLB™ debut in 2001 and, until his retirement in 2019, achieved incredible stats: 3,089 hits, a .311 batting average, and 509 stolen bases. He also earned numerous honors, including 10 consecutive Gold Glove Awards. Ichiro personally signed each ball with the American Baseball Hall of Fame (HOF*) logo. Each ball is affixed with Ichiro's personal authentication hologram and a witness authentication hologram from a certification authority. This special set includes the commemorative ball honoring Ichiro's achievement and a special display case.
