Andre Dawson leads MLB Hall of Fame Class 2010 into Cooperstown
Flashback from the old blog! The Hawk makes all the way from the friendly confies of Wrigley into The Hall of Fame at Cooperstown.
Andre Dawson was the only player who received the necessary 75% to be elected into the HOF this year. Congratulations to "The Hawk!" Unfortunately, Bert Blyleven missed by 5 votes and Roberto Alomar missed by 8 votes. Here's to hoping they get in next year!
