Cooperstown becomes the focus of the baseball world this afternoon at 1:30 PM EDT as the 2018 class receives their plaques and makes their speeches. There are a large number of inductees, as the writers voted in four players. Vald Guerrero, Trevor Hoffman, Chipper Jones, and Jim Thome receive the highest honor the baseball writers bestow. Jack Morris and teammate Alan Trammell won the nod of the veterans committee, honoring the great Tigers teams of the 1980s. Sheldon Ocker takes the J.G. Taylor Spink Award (writing) and Bob Costas receives the Ford C. Frick Award (broadcasting).
There are arguments about a few of the inductees, especially Morris, Trammell, and Hoffman. This is not the day for that, however. All these players brought a great deal of joy to baseball fans, and it’s a day to remember that. Congratulations to all!
