The HOF announced this years inductees, today former A's/Yankees/A's/Blue Jays/A's/Padres/Angels/A's/Mets/Mariners/Padres/Red Sox/Dodger's great Rickey Henderson (dude's been around).
Over his career he scored 2295 runs, tops all time, and he stole 1406 bases, also tops all time. He finished his career with 3055 hits. I can only imagine how awesome his speech is going to be. I need to come up with a drinking game for how many times he will refer to himself in the third person.
Also announced is former Red Sox great Jim Rice. The former 8 time all star and 1978 AL MVP finished his career with 382 home runs and a lifetime average of .298.
Don Mattingly gained 64 votes good for 11.9%, enough to stay on the ballot but far from the requisite 75% needed for election
David Cone appeared on the ballot for the first time garnering 21 votes for 3.9%, falling short of the 5% necessary to stay on the ballot.
