Chipper elected to Hall of Fame on first ballot

TORONTO -- One of the greatest players to ever suit up in Canada is heading to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Long-time Expos slugger Vladimir Guerrero was one of four players named to Cooperstown on Wednesday evening. Guerrero received 92.9 percent of the vote from eligible members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. He will be joined by Chipper Jones, Jim Thome and Trevor Hoffman in the Class of 2018.

Guerrero will be remembered most for his time in Montreal and Anaheim, but he also had a brief stint with the Blue Jays late in his career.
