Mariano Rivera became the first player ever to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame unanimously. Roy Halladay joined him as a first ballot inductee. Edgar Martinez, on the other hand, finally got in on his 10th and final year on the ballot. And, Mike Mussina also got in this year after waiting 5 years.
The most controversial induction in this year’s class was Harold Baines who was voted in by the Today’s Game Era Committee along with Lee Smith. Many believe the Harold Baines was not deserving of the induction and I can’t blame them.
Plaque Logo Choices:
Mariano Rivera: Yankees
Roy Halladay: N/A
Mike Mussina: N/A
Edgar Martinez: Mariners
Lee Smith: Cubs
Harold Baines: White Sox
After the induction I posted articles breaking down just how good Mo, Doc, Moose and Edgar were against the Devil Rays and Tampa Bay Rays.
