Hall of Fame

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — One of them got more than 4,300 total hits on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. Another was built like a tight end, but earned fame as the ultimate ace in Cleveland, Milwaukee and New York. A third was a diminutive reliever who was born right-handed but miraculously grew up to throw a baseball 100 mph left-handed.

For Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner, this was their coolest moment in baseball time — the day their roads converged on a wondrous Sunday afternoon in Cooperstown. This was the day they were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, along with two sadly absent giants from another era, the late Dave Parker and Dick Allen.
