The Baseball Hall of Fame welcomed three new members on Tuesday night, including former Atlanta Braves closer Billy Wagner. Outfielder Ichiro Suzuki and pitcher CC Sabathia were also inducted.
Wagner spent the 2010 season in Atlanta, where he logged 71 games and posted a 1.43 earned run average. He was selected as an All-Star the same season.
There were some other familiar names on the ballot, including Andruw Jones and Brian McCann, but Wagner made the cut in his final year on the ballot.
