It now appears it's a question of when, not if, Carlos Beltrán will be voted into the Hall of Fame. In fact, next year could be his time, with the ballot wide open. Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner were elected in voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America announced Tuesday night.

The Baseball Hall of Fame has three new members. Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wanger were voted into the Hall of Fame on Tuesday. Outfielder Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones fell just short of immortality.

ICHIRO SUZUKI, CC SABATHIA AND BILLY WAGNER The wait is over. For two of the three newest members, it was the shortest wait possible. For the third, the longest. Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner are officially Hall of Fame-bound,

The Hall of Fame doors will open to Ichiro Suzuki, to CC Sabathia, and to Billy Wagner, and that’s a solid trio.

Former Kansas City Royals outfielder Carlos Beltran fell just short in his bid to enter the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Beltran, 47, missed Hall of Fame enshrinement after receiving 277 votes on Tuesday.

Born in Vallejo, California, but “grew up” in Cleveland, now CC Sabathia is a Hall of Famer after the Baseball Writers' Association of America votes were announced Tuesday. On Wednesday’s podcast, Paul Hoynes and Joe Noga celebrate CC’s career and what it means for the Guardians to have just the third player ever drafted and developed by the organization reach the Hall.

Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner are the newest inductees to the National Baseball Hall of Fame as it revealed its Class of 2025.

The trio of stars, each of whom spent part of their career in New York, will be inducted in Cooperstown on July 27.

The Baseball Hall of Fame class of 2025 will represent New York. CC Sabathia, in his first year of eligibility, and Billy Wagner, in his final year on the ballot, have joined shoo-in Ichiro Suzuki for a trio of inductions who have ties to the Big Apple.

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.

The Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2025 has been decided. Outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, pitcher CC Sabathia, reliever Billy Wagner and outfielder Carlos Beltran have all been elected, each earning at least 75% of votes from eligible members of the Baseball Writers Association of America.
