The trio of stars, each of whom spent part of their career in New York, will be inducted in Cooperstown on July 27.

Former Kansas City Royals outfielder Carlos Beltran fell just short in his bid to enter the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Beltran, 47, missed Hall of Fame enshrinement after receiving 277 votes on Tuesday.

The Hall of Fame doors will open to Ichiro Suzuki, to CC Sabathia, and to Billy Wagner, and that’s a solid trio.

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.

The Baseball Hall of Fame class of 2025 will represent New York. CC Sabathia, in his first year of eligibility, and Billy Wagner, in his final year on the ballot, have joined shoo-in Ichiro Suzuki for a trio of inductions who have ties to the Big Apple.

CC Sabathia’s career ended abruptly. Yes, the longtime Yankees left-hander had announced months earlier his plans to retire after the 2019 season, but his final appearance did not go as ceremoniously as Derek Jeter’s or Mariano Rivera’s.

The Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2025 has been decided. Outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, pitcher CC Sabathia, reliever Billy Wagner and outfielder Carlos Beltran have all been elected, each earning at least 75% of votes from eligible members of the Baseball Writers Association of America.

Ichiro Suzuki will be the first Japanese player to enter the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and he'll be joined by CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner in the Class of 2025.

Danny Abriano wrote about the work the Mets still have to do in the shadow of the Dodgers’ unbelievable offseason. Billy Wagner, former Met, has made the Hall of Fame in his final year of eligibility.

The trio will be inducted into the Hall at Cooperstown on July 27 along with Dave Parker and Dick Allen, voted in last month by the classic era committee.

In the meantime, the Clown of the Year award goes to the writer who decided Suzuki wasn’t worthy of the Hall of Fame. My friends are all asking who could be that dumb. I think it’s more about spite than idiocy.
