I haven't looked at any numbers but my initial reaction is, yes he is.

Everybody else?

sure he is ..... as others have stated, its the Baseball HOF not just for MLB ..... sorta like the Football HOF considers #'s from Canada ..... as in the case with Warren Moon

Of course. Like simon says, when you look at his career numbers for both leagues, he's a no-brainer.

Without a doubt... I would put him in on his MLB stats alone...the man took down Sisler...and is a hitting machine...best contact hitter in the majors of from 2001-Present...his Japan greatness just adds to it...and in a Jackie Robinson sort of way, he proved that Japanese hitters can compete in the majors...there would be no Matsui without an Ichiro.

well they dont hand out 90 mil contracts to pretty good players, ichiro is a HOF lock most def..

Actually they do...go look up Zito and his 120 mil...

I also think he would be a lock with his MLB numbers alone. I put him up there with the best hitters I have ever seen.
