With Griffey’s election assured, the only drama surrounding Wednesday’s announcement is the percentage of votes he will receive. Former Mariners teammate Edgar Martinez is on the ballot but is expected to fall short in the voting.
Ken Griffey Jr. will be voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Wednesday.
The announcement will air on MLB Network at 3 p.m. Seattle time and streamed live on MLB.com.
Though the honor is voted on by approximately 475 eligible members of the Baseball Writers Association of America, and a player must receive 75 percent of the vote for induction, there is no doubt the former Mariners center fielder will receive more than the requisite number of votes in his first year of eligibility.
