Griffey's Hall of Fame election sets record high vote share
Ken Griffey Jr. tops ballots with a 99.3 percent showing on his first BBWA vote, a record. Mike Piazza also elected, to be inducted with Griffey in Cooperstown on July 24, while others like Jeff Bagwell and Tim Raines miss by narrow margins. Griffey and Piazza reflect eras of steroid scrutiny and clean reputations, with Griffey noting he played fair for his kids.
