New York Yankees legend Mariano Rivera and his wife broke their silence on Thursday amid allegations they covered up child sex abuse at their home and church.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame has announced its inductees for the class of 2025. Three players are set to be enshrined in Cooperstown in this year's class: Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner.
To this point, only famed Yankee closer Mariano Rivera has been elected to the Hall of Fame unanimously — not Babe Ruth, not Hank Aaron, not Ken Griffey Jr. nor Derek Jeter, just Rivera. Could Suzuki be the second?
Suzuki came in first in terms of voting with 393, making history as the first Japanese-born player elected to the Hall of Fame. He was close to making history again as he was nearly unanimous– and he would have been in some pretty weighty company to share with Yankee legends Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter.
After Ichiro Suzuki, like Derek Jeter, came one vote shy of unanimous selection into the Hall of Fame, Jeter says it's time for voters to be "accountable" for their votes.
A lawsuit charges that the Yankees star and his wife, Clara, failed to act when they became aware that a young girl had been assaulted at a program affiliated with their church.
Lawyers for the girl claim the Hall of Famer and his wife, a church pastor, “isolated and intimidated” the girl into remaining "silent" about the abuse by an older child during the 2018 trip. The Riveras deny the allegation.
Ichiro Suzuki, the first Japanese-born player elected to Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame, reacted humorously Thursday to the one vote that he did not secure. The voting results Tuesday showed Ichiro coming up one vote shy of becoming the second player to be unanimously voted into the hall after former New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera.
