Comments 0 | Recommend 0
NEW YORK - Rickey Henderson sped his way into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot, and Jim Rice made it in on his 15th and final try.
Henderson, baseball's career leader in runs scored and stolen bases, received 94.8 percent of the vote from the Baseball Writers' Association of America, well above the 75 percent needed.
Rice, among baseball's most feared hitters in the late 1970s and early 1980s, got 76.4 percent of the vote after falling just shy with 72.2 percent last year.
