CC Sabathia, Ichiro Suzuki, Billy Wagner, Dick Allen and Dave Parker were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

Suzuki referened the lone writer who did not give him a Hall of Fame vote, saying that a previous invitation to dinner had now "expired."

Dave Parker, who died a month before he was to be inducted, and Dick Allen got into the Hall posthumously after being voted in by the classics committee.
