Former Braves come up short in Hall voting

Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza were the only players elected to the Hall of Fame when this year's results were announced Wednesday night. To gain election, a player must be included on at least 75 percent of the ballots cast by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. McGriff led the cast of former Braves as he received a vote on 20.9 percent of the ballots.

It was a similar result for McGriff, who has never been included on more than 23.9 percent (in 2012) of the ballots since becoming Hall of Fame eligible in 2010.
