Congratulations to Barry Larkin for being elected into the Hall of Fame in what was third year on the ballot!!!

To get in this year, a player had to appear on 430 ballots. The players whose names are italicized will appear on next year's ballot, having surpassed the five percent rule to stay on (30 votes).

According to the Baseball Hall of Fame website, 573 ballots were cast. Nine of the ballots returned were left BLANK!!!

Sincerely,
