Four of the greatest players who ever played the game. First ballot hall of famers who have firmly established their place in the pantheon alongside Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Micky Mantle, Ty Cobb, Willie Mays, Nolan Ryan and Steve Carlton. None of them is on George Mitchell's list. George Mitchell's list is a proud moment for the Mariners franchise. These four men are now garganchuan stars as even never before.

I think someone has vastly overrated Ichiro. He is not one the greatest players to play the game. Additionally, I think you are confused with putting Nolan Ryan on that list.
