Ichiro was formally inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sunday, joining Ken Griffey Jr. and Edgar Martinez as the third player to represent the Mariners in Cooperstown.

While just three former players actually represent the M's in Cooperstown, there are eight links to the franchise with a plaque at the Hall of Fame.

There's the batting style that had Ichiro flying toward first base almost before he had even made contact with the baseball, the hand-eye coordination that allowed Ichiro to drop a hit to any segment of the field he chose seemingly on command, the legendary preparation and throwing arm and underrated sense of humor.
