After 10 grueling years, Edgar Martinez has now been elected into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. He will now join his longtime teammate and friend Ken Griffey, Jr. in Cooperstown as a member of the Seattle Mariners.
He is also joining former longtime Mariner teammate, Randy Johnson, who decided to be entered as a Diamondback (however the HOF recognizes the Mariners as his primary team). Martinez was finally able to get in with an overall election percentage of 85.4%. This year’s class includes Mariano Rivera, Roy Halladay, and Mike Mussina.
