The three players will be honored July 26-28 in Cooperstown, N.Y., along with two players selected by the Classic Baseball Era Committee: Dave Parker and the late Dick Allen. The ceremony will also recognize broadcaster Tom Hamilton and writer Thomas Boswell.

Ichiro Suzuki became the first Japanese player chosen for baseball’s Hall of Fame, falling one vote shy of unanimous when he was elected along with CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner.

Players are elected to the Hall of Fame provided they are named on at least 75% of ballots cast by eligible voting members of the BBWAA. With 394 ballots submitted in the 2025 election, candidates needed to receive 296 votes to be elected.
