Yankees Ace CC Sabathia, Ichiro Officially Named to Baseball Hall of Fame
- In Cooperstown, N.Y., on Sunday, July 27, 2025, the National Baseball Hall of Fame enshrined CC Sabathia, Ichiro Suzuki, Billy Wagner, and included Era Committee selections Dave Parker and Dick Allen.
- After allowing Barry Bonds and Shoeless Joe Jackson to regain Hall eligibility earlier this year, Dave Parker was posthumously inducted, broadening the eligibility landscape.

- CC Sabathia, who urged `It’s on me and my generation to find the next kid,`, highlights ongoing efforts to grow baseball diversity, with future stars expected to emerge.
