Major League Baseball
COOPERSTOWN, NY (MetroSource-WSAU) — Scott Rolen is finally a Hall of Famer. In his sixth year on the ballot, and with just over 76 percent of the vote, the former third baseman is getting the call to Cooperstown.
Rolen played 17 years in the majors with the Phillies, Cardinals, Blue Jays, and Reds, and was the National League Rookie of the Year in 1997. The eight-time gold glover and seven-time All-Star won a World Series with the Cards in 2006.
Rolen will join Fred McGriff, who was elected in December by the Contemporary Era committee. McGriff had a career batting average of .284 with 493 home runs and over 13-hundred walks.
