The results of the BBWAA component of Hall of Fame voting were revealed Tuesday night, with Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia becoming first-ballot Hall of Famers while Billy Wagner made it on his 10th and final try.
The results of the BBWAA portion of voting for the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame class were revealed on Tuesday night. Here at CBS Sports, we've spent the past two-plus months breaking it down, so let's put a bow on the 2025 ballot and look forward to what the results mean for 2026 and beyond.
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.
Atlanta Braves legend Andruw Jones missed out on Cooperstown again, and former teammate Chipper Jones was furious.
The trio of stars, each of whom spent part of their career in New York, will be inducted in Cooperstown on July 27.
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.
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 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.
