On Tuesday, the Baseball Writers' Association of America announced the latest players inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

CC Sabathia remembers being awed by his first visit to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y., saying he still gets goosebumps when he thinks about those hours wandering through the plaque gallery several years ago.

CC Sabathia adds another C to his name now, for Cooperstown, now that he becomes the latest great Yankee to become a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2025. The final results were unveiled Tuesday

CC Sabathia’s career ended abruptly. Yes, the longtime Yankees left-hander had announced months earlier his plans to retire after the 2019 season, but his final appearance did not go as ceremoniously as Derek Jeter’s or Mariano Rivera’s.

That was one of the best debut seasons ever. Ichiro was an All-Star and won a Silver Slugger and Gold Glove award in right field. He not only coasted to the Rookie of the Year award but narrowly surpassed Jason Giambi to win the MVP. He joined Fred Lynn as the only rookies to be named the Most Valuable Player.

Red Sox great Dustin Pedroia received a high enough percentage in 2025, his first year of eligibility, to remain on the Hall of Fame ballot next year.

The three stalwarts were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday and will be enshrined in Cooperstown this summer.

The former Red Sox catcher was in Boston recently for Fenway Fest. He talked of his career and bond with teammates like Luis Tiant, and shared insights on today's game.

Dustin Pedroia will remain on the Hall of Fame ballot next year, but it's going to be an uphill battle to get his call to Cooperstown.
