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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
