2019 Inductees

This evening we learned that four new players will be enshrined in Cooperstown during this summer's Induction Weekend.

Mariano Rivera became the first player in Hall of Fame history as the only player ever voted in unanimously by the Baseball Writers' Association. He'll be joined by Edgar Martinez and Mike Mussina, as well as my favorite baseball player of all time, the recently deceased Roy Halladay.

I already have Halladay's autograph, so my collection grows by one. This was a bittersweet announcement - I'm thrilled to see my favorite player inducted, saddened again that his life was cut short.
