COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Tim Raines, who received two World Series rings with the New York Yankees, has been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Raines was the final speaker at the ceremony Sunday and was greeted by lots of fans from Canada, many of whom came aboard several buses.
Raines thanked his mom and dad, who were seated in the front row and later focused on Hall of Famer Andre Dawson, his teammate with the Montreal Expos.
“Without Andre Dawson there’s no telling where I’d be,” Raines said. “I wanted to kind of be like you and he finally accepted and I followed.
