Ken Griffey Jr. Robbed of Being Baseball's First-Ever Unanimous Hall of Famer

Ken Griffey Jr. received some awesome news Wednesday, as he found out he had gotten more support in the Baseball Hall of Fame voting than any other player in history.

And yet, we can still say he got robbed.

Griffey, on the ballot for the first time, received 99.3 percent of the Baseball Writers Association of America's votes for the 2016 Hall of Fame class. That's a new record, snapping Tom Seaver's record of 98.84 percent. Cue a helpful graphic, courtesy of MLB Stat of the Day:

Ken Griffey Jr. has been elected to the #HOF with the highest vote percentage EVER.
