Masanori Murakami paved the way as the first Japanese-born player in Major League Baseball, debuting with the San Francisco Giants on September 1, 1964.
Today, Ichiro Suzuki is the first Japanese-born player inducted to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Together, Murakami’s historical debut and Ichiro’s Hall of Fame honor illustrate the profound and enduring influence of Japanese players on America’s pastime.

Have a great HOF Day friends and card folk! 👊
