The Class of 2025 will be inducted in Cooperstown this weekend. Here's what to know about the National Baseball Hall of Fame's newest additions.

Exactly two hitters, ever, got 3,000 hits after their age-26 season: Rose (3,357) and Ichiro (3,089), decades later. Nobody else is within 150 of Ichiro, and the closest active player, Paul Goldschmidt, is just over halfway at 1,668 post-age-26 hits through Friday. Aaron Judge? Mike Trout? Jose Altuve? Sorry, not even close.

The family of legendary Mariners broadcaster Dave Niehaus — the voice of Seattle baseball for more than three decades — shared a quiet exchange they had with Ichiro.
