Ichiro Suzuki is planning to do more than just be inducted into the Hall of Fame this summer.

He’s also planning to donate his entire personal collection to the museum in Cooperstown.

A pair of bills aimed at protecting youth refs are making their way through the State Legislature.

The bills aim to improve school safety by establishing penalties for people who harass or assault referees at school events or during extracurriculars. 

It comes after a parent was caught on camera pushing two teenage referees to the ground during a youth hockey game in Seattle earlier this week.

The man has since been banned from all USA Hockey-sanctioned activity in the area.
