Mike Mussina’s ‘surprising, somewhat’ road to Hall of Fame

Mike Mussina lived the baseball dream and, as it turns out, knew exactly when to quit. He grew up in Montoursville, Pa., near Williamsport, home of the Little League World Series, and will wind up in Cooperstown.

Not a bad ride — with long stops in Baltimore and The Bronx.

The former Orioles and Yankees star beat the odds and made it into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday night on his sixth try, getting in with 76.7 percent, just clearing the 75 percent threshold, of the vote from the members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.
