Tim Raines was one of the fastest baserunners ever, but he didn't mind taking the slow lane to Cooperstown.
The longtime Expos' star, who played five years with the White Sox, finally was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Wednesday in his 10th and final year of eligibility, joining Astros' slugger Jeff Bagwell and catcher Ivan Rodriguez in the Class of 2017.
After languishing on the ballot for years with little momentum in his first several attempts, Raines cruised in his last chance with a whopping 86 percent of the votes, second to Bagwell's 86.
