Four elected to Hall of Fame; Mike Mussina gains but comes up short

The results of the Baseball Hall of Fame voting for the summer of 2018 are in and it's going to be another packed induction day at Cooperstown, with four new players elected to the Hall by the writers this year. The inductees include two former short-time Orioles, Vladimir Guerrero and Jim Thome. The greatest Orioles pitcher of my lifetime, Mike Mussina, will have to wait until at least next year.

Along with Guerrero and Thome, the two other players to be elected after being named on at least 75% of the 422 voters' ballots are career-long Braves great Chipper Jones and Padres save compiler Trevor Hoffman.
