Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2023: Speech Highlights and Twitter Reaction

Fred McGriff and Scott Rolen are officially Hall of Famers.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum honored McGriff and Rolen during a Sunday induction ceremony in Cooperstown, New York.

Known as "Crime Dog," McGriff was the first player in MLB history to hit 30 homers for five different teams. His cleanup batting helped lead the Atlanta Braves to a World Series title in 1995.

McGriff was unanimously elected to the Hall of Fame by a committee selecting candidates from 1980 to the present.

The former first baseman did not have a team logo on his Hall of Fame plaque.
