About this listen
Ichiro Suzuki, the Hall of Fame legend whose iconic career still captivates baseball circles, made headlines this weekend with a surprise public appearance at Seattle Seahawks home turf. On January 25, the Mariners icon raised the famed 12th Man flag before kickoff against the Los Angeles Rams, as captured in photos on the Seahawks official site, drawing cheers from a packed stadium and underscoring his enduring Northwest royalty status. This rare crossover moment, blending his baseball immortality with Seattle sports passion, could etch into his biographical lore as a city unifier.
No fresh business ventures or social media buzz directly from Ichiro surfaced in the last few days, though his shadow looms large in MLB chatter. Roundtable.io noted on January 25 how Toronto Blue Jays hats are flying off shelves in Japan thanks to new signee Kazuma Okamoto, crediting franchises like the Mariners for pioneering Japanese stars like Hall of Famer Ichiro in building that global fan frenzy. Meanwhile, Dong-A Ilbo reported today that Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo, idolizing Ichiros hit machine prowess, eyes a right field shift in 2026, mirroring the legends own dominant corner outfield days.
Hall talk simmers too, with Field Level Media recapping Ichiros near-unanimous 2025 election alongside CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner, while Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones nabbed 2026 plaques per Associated Press updates. FanGraphs blogs echoed his legacy in ballot breakdowns, but nothing ties Ichiro to new deals, posts, or sightings beyond the flag raise. Mariners broadcaster Rick Rizzs retirement after 2026, announced by KOMO News and KlewTV, evokes Ichiros era without direct links. Stay tunedwhispers swirl, but verified quiet prevails for now.
