Third baseman Scott Rolen elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame with five votes to spare
Slick-fielding third baseman Scott Rolen was elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame on Tuesday with five votes to spare above the 75 per cent needed.
“You don’t think about this. You think about doing the best you can,” Rolen said. “I never thought the Hall of Fame was going to be the answer.” That became the lowest first-ballot percentage of a player later elected. The previous mark had been Duke Snider’s 17 per cent in 1970. Snider was voted in with 86.5 per cent in 1980.
