Coming into the voting, Sabathia’s induction was no guarantee. While he won a Cy Young and was a World Series champion, he made just six All-Star teams. Voters believed Sabathia deserved better over his career, electing him in his first year of eligibility. He received 86.8 percent of the vote. Wagner had a much longer wait, not making the Hall of Fame until his 10th and final year on the ballot.
