Billy Wagner, who briefly pitched for the Red Sox in 2009, has been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame alongside Ichiro Suzuki and CC Sabathia in his final year of eligibility.

Ichiro will go into the Hall of Fame as professional baseball’s all-time leader in hits with 4,367 (3,089 in MLB and 1,278 in Japan) — more even than Pete Rose's 4,256. He broke George Sisler’s single-season hits mark of 257 in 2004. The new mark is 262.
