Former Marlins president David Samson is seemingly very sensitive about the perception of the franchise. That’s why when Ichiro Suzuki broke out a zinger about the Marlins during his Baseball Hall of Fame induction speech on Sunday — which the Japanese legend delivered entirely in English — he was not as quick to laugh as the rest of the crowd in Cooperstown.

Dave Parker, who died a month before he was to be inducted, and Dick Allen got into the Hall posthumously after being voted in by the classics committee.
