Experience Baseball History: Witness Ichiro’s Hall of Fame Induction in Cooperstown!
Friday, Jul 25 - Monday, Jul 28, 2025
Join JapanBall for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Cooperstown in July 2025 to witness Ichiro Suzuki’s Hall of Fame induction! In partnership with Sports Travel and Tours (STAT), the official tour provider of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, this exclusive package offers VIP reserved seats at the induction ceremony, access to special events, and unique opportunities to meet baseball figures.
Ichiro will be inducted alongside fellow 2025 enshrinees Dave Parker, Dick Allen, and perhaps CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner, and more greats! You will be among the first fans to visit the national Baseball Hall of Fame’s brand-new “Yakyu” exhibit on Japanese baseball, set to open in July 2025.
Experience this incredible weekend with fellow JapanBallers and Japanese fans, celebrating Ichiro’s legacy and engaging in a cultural exchange centered around baseball.
Please note that we recommend STAT’s Albany Home Run package for Ichiro’s Hall of Fame induction weekend, as it will include JapanBall staff, past JapanBall tour guests, special events just for JapanBallers, and hopefully some fans from Japan too!
While the Albany Home Run package is ideal for fostering community, you are welcome to choose any package that suits your preferences. For example, you might want to choose the Induction Plus package, which features Shohei Ohtani and the World-Series-champion Los Angeles Dodgers playing against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, a tour of Yankee Stadium, a game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the New York Yankees, and a stay in New York City’s Times Square!
Regardless which package you choose, we kindly ask that you book through our link to ensure your spot with the JapanBall group.
