Baseball Hall of Fame voting results: Nine things to know, including hope for Carlos Beltrán, Andruw Jones
Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner to enter Baseball Hall of Fame
Ichiro Suzuki enters Hall of Fame in 2025 alongside Billy Wagner, CC Sabathia; Carlos Beltran, Andruw Jones fall just short
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.
Chipper Jones has a bone to pick with Baseball Hall of Fame voters. The longtime Braves star and Mets villain, who was enshrined in Cooperstown in 2018, took to X to complain about his former teammate, center fielder Andruw Jones, not getting elected in his eighth year on the ballot.
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.
Atlanta Braves legend Andruw Jones missed out on Cooperstown again, and former teammate Chipper Jones was furious.
The bad news is that Andruw Jones will have to wait at least one more year. The good news is that he is on a path similar to the one traveled by former Braves closer Billy Wagner, one of the baseball’s new Hall of Famers.
Voting for the National Baseball Hall of Fame is a privilege. Also a pain. No Hall of Fame and maybe nothing short of Jordan vs. Lebron talk seems to elicit more debate in sports than baseball Hall of Fame talk. I blame Pete Rose. And steroids.
Ichiro falls a vote short of being the second unanimous choice ever. CC makes it in his first year of eligibility, Wagner in his last. The recent ballot glut has cleared.
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.

The BBWAA recognized CC Sabathia’s prolonged excellence by voting the former Yankees left-hander into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Suzuki received 393 of 394 votes from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Sabathia was on 342 ballots and Wagner on 325, which was 29 more than the 296 needed for the required 75%.
The Hall of Fame doors will open to Ichiro Suzuki, to CC Sabathia, and to Billy Wagner, and that’s a solid trio.
