Meanwhile, to the delight of Packs, the veterans committee elected to the HOF Roger Maris, Elston Howard, Bobby Murcer, Willie Randolph, Ron Guidry, Thurman Munson, Don Mattingly, Andy Pettite, Jorge Posada, Gleyber Torres (who finished his career at .249), and 17 other former NY Yankees along with 354 other former big league stars. An aging Tori Hunter was thought by most to be the best player not yet elected to the Hall.
