Absolutely stunning.

The fact that so many others who were deserving of this honor first but did not receive it is the ridiculous part. I am surprised a voter or two didn't leave him off the ballot just because he was a relief pitcher. I agree he should have not been the first unanimous choice, but he definitely belongs in the HOF.
