Bubba Wallace on being locked into the playoffs: "Holy shit... that's three years of frustration and stress right there"

Bubba Wallace winning by beating Kyle Larson, who NASCAR has tried to rehabilitate after he used the n-word while streaming himself playing video games in 2020, is just... *chef's kiss.*

So happy to see Bubba in victory lane, especially at Indy.

Yokoso, Ichiro. #YakyuBaseball

We need public ballots for the HoF so Ichiro can name names in his speech

Ichiro's in the Hall of Fame, which means it's time to share my favorite Ichiro story:

🌟

ichiro would have 100+ steals a year under the new rules

Ichiro sign as he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame

I know Ichiro didn't face the same things Jackie Robinson did. But before Ichiro there truly was a widely-held belief that Japanese players wouldn't succeed as everyday starters.

Ichiro pretty much destroyed that thinking.

Some fine tasting shade on this glorious day ☀️ 😎

One of few who can get away with this 👑
Living his truth 😂

Ichiro seems so out of step with current times. He has a deep sense of honor and obligation to the game. He is serious, calm, self-possessed. He never blusters, never shows off, never complains, never vamps. He favors precision over force.

We could use a lot more Ichiros in US public life.

Good point, wrong uniform!

Three decades and a pile of notebooks: The beat writer who chronicled Ichiro’s career For nearly three decades, this journalist's job revolved around one man — Ichiro Suzuki. But covering the baseball legend was never boring.

For nearly three decades, Keizo Konishi’s job revolved around one man: Ichiro Suzuki. It's a job that took him from Kobe to Seattle and now Cooperstown as the Mariners icon is inducted into the Hall of Fame.

With Hall of Fame induction, Ichiro makes himself heard loud and clear Across his 28 seasons of professional baseball, Ichiro grew to become a superstar — first in Japan and then in North America — and then an icon.

On Sunday, Ichiro will speak in Cooperstown as he is inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. But his words will reverberate around the globe — from Seattle to Kobe and everywhere in between.

Hall of Fame always held deeper meaning for Ichiro Ichiro, who will be inducted into the Hall on Sunday, is so familiar with the storied museum that he could probably lead the tour that new inductees receive.

One of the things new inductee Ichiro Suzuki has noted about the National Baseball Hall of Fame is how hard it is to get there. But, in reverence of those who came before him, it's a trip he's made many times.
