NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Mariano Rivera may have stolen the show on Hall of Fame election day, receiving baseball’s first unanimous selection, but another Yankee great will be joining him in Cooperstown this summer.
Mike Mussina, Rivera’s teammate from 2001-08, was elected to the Hall of Fame along side Mariners slugger Edgar Martinez and the late Roy Halladay.
Mussina was a steady right-hander for the Yankees and Baltimore Orioles who went 270-153 with 2,813 strikeouts over 18 seasons. He received 76.7 percent, getting seven more votes than the 319 required for election.
