Few Major League Baseball superstars have done as much for the sport as Ichiro Suzuki. Coming to MLB after nine seasons in Japan, the excitement he brought to the big league was second to none. From 2001 until 2018, Suzuki amassed over 3,000 hits and 1,420 runs.
In 2012, the New York Yankees got Suzuki the closest he would ever get to the World Series. The team played the Detroit Tigers in the ALCS, losing. During the series, he hit his first postseason home run. Our next athlete never made it to the NBA Finals after a legendary college run!
