Why is Ichiro considered automatic for HOF?

[The Q]

Because he doesn't know who a cheating scum bag like Tom Brady is.

Just stop.......you are wrong. Ichiro WILL be a 1st Ballot HOF.

Did you EVER watch him take BP?
Could Ichiro have won a HR hitting contest? If you say NO, then you NEVER saw him in BP. Man could stroke.

batting practice power and in-game power are two different things.
