Dave Parker, who died a month before he was to be inducted, and Dick Allen got into the Hall posthumously after being voted in by the classics committee.

Suzuki referened the lone writer who did not give him a Hall of Fame vote, saying that a previous invitation to dinner had now "expired."

The Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025 was officially inducted at Cooperstown, New York on Sunday. Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner and the families of the late Dave Parker and Dick Allen gave speeches before they were honored with plaques commemorating their legendary baseball careers.
