Another player with ties to the Toronto Blue Jays has been elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame. This time it was Jack Morris, who was announced as an inductee on Sunday, and was chosen by the veterans committee. Morris had topped out at 67.7% of the vote in 2013 on his 14th ballot, narrowly missing being elected over his 15 tries at eligibility. He was even quoted as saying he was glad it was over in 2014 when he missed out for the final time.

Morris will enter the Hall of Fame with the highest ERA of any starting pitcher enshrined, but numbers like that are definitely relative to the era, and Morris was definitely one of the best arms in his.
