He has been waiting a long time for this day, but it has finally come. Goose Gossage was elected to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame today, getting 85.8% of the vote (466 votes).
Jim Rice finished with 392 votes (72.2%), just 16 votes shy of also being elected. Also falling short were Andre Dawson (358), Bert Blyleven (336) and a guy I was hoping would make the cut this time around, Lee Smith (235).
