The BBWAA have elected Ken Griffey Jr into the Baseball Hall of Fame with 437 out of 440 votes for a 99.32% vote. That is the highest percentage ever for any player elected into the Hall of Fame. Everyone knew that this was a formality, but it’s finally here. He’s a first ballot Hall of Famer and has now been elected today along with Mike Piazza, who in his fourth year of eligibility earned 83% of the vote. Tomorrow they both will announce which hat they will wear into the the Hall.
If you grew up a fan of baseball, today is a day of celebration.
