Yankees legend Hideki Matsui played seven seasons for the Yankees. It wasn’t until his final one, in 2009, with the addition of lefty ace CC Sabathia, that he managed to get that elusive World Series ring.

In the bottom of the eighth inning of the April 15, 2001, game between the Oakland A's and visiting Seattle Mariners, A's outfielder Terrence Long bounced a leadoff single up the middle off Aaron Sele.

Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner reached the necessary 75% support on the BBWAA Hall of Fame ballot revealed Tuesday. Complete results.

Ichiro had more hits than anyone, while serving as a powerful precedent for Japanese players. That overshadows whether his Hall of Fame election was unanimous.

Ichiro Suzuki came up one vote shy of becoming the second player to be unanimously voted into the Hall of Fame, prompting a social media uproar.

Suzuki easily cleared the bar for first-ballot induction. But like Derek Jeter, he missed getting in unanimously by one vote.
