Piazza, Griffey officially inducted into Hall of Fame

Legendary New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza and former Seattle Mariners center fielder Ken Griffey Jr. were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, on Sunday.

Piazza spent eight seasons of his 16-year career with the New York Mets, leading them to the 2000 World Series and hitting a memorable home run in the first game in New York following the 9/11 terror attacks.

"To witness the darkest evil of the human heart ... will be forever burned in my soul," Piazza said, according to the Associated Press.
