Suzuki came in first in terms of voting with 393, making history as the first Japanese-born player elected to the Hall of Fame. He was close to making history again as he was nearly unanimous– and he would have been in some pretty weighty company to share with Yankee legends Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter.

CC Sabathia was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame with 86.8% of votes, marking his significant career with 251 wins, a 3.74 ERA, and 3,093 strikeouts. He'll enter the Hall with a Yankees cap.

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.
