MLB Hall of Fame Adds Three New Players

July 31, 2017

The National Baseball Hall of Fame held its ceremony in Cooperstown on Sunday as they inducted three new members. What an honor it was for the five inducted. They are Tim Raines, Jeff Bagwell and Ivan Rodriguez.

We’ve know that these five would be inducted into the Hall of Fame for months now, but the day finally came for these three! Rodriguez may go down as the greatest defensive catcher of all-time, but he wasn’t just that. He won seven Silver sluggers in his career and hit for a .296 average to go along with 311 home runs.

Tim Raines just barely made it into the Hall, being elected in his final year of eligibility. Raines was a seven-time All Star and won two World Series with the Yankees.

Finally, Jeff Bagwell was one heck of a first basemen for the Houston Astros. He played 15 years for them compiling 449 home runs and 1,529 RBI.

Congratulations to these three on their amazing careers and special weekend at Cooperstown!
