Yankees icon Mariano Rivera and his wife Clara accused of covering up sexual abuse at their home - A legal complaint accuses the Riveras of failing to take ‘sufficient action to end the sexual abuse’

Other bits of intrigue ahead of Tuesday's 6 p.m. announcement: Will CC Sabathia be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and is this the year Billy Wagner gets in?

CC Sabathia officially became the latest longtime Yankee to reach the Baseball Hall of Fame when the voting by the Baseball Writers Association of America was announced Tuesday night, sending Sabathia to Cooperstown along with Ichiro Suzuki and former Mets reliever Billy Wagner.

Ichiro Suzuki is heading to the Hall of Fame - but he fell one vote short of history. The Japanese outfielder is one of three players announced Tuesday as part of the 2025 Baseball Hall of Fame class.

Call to the Hall, pond hockey, Novak's shot at history, NBA midseason grades, wild Bills-Chiefs stat, and more.

The bar has been set outrageously high. When it comes to the New York Yankees, being a closer means being compared to the best closer in the game's history: Mariano Rivera. So Devin Williams will come into the Bronx and be well aware of the expectations when he takes the ball to close out games for the Yankees.

In Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner, the Baseball Writers Association delivered quite an eclectic trifecta to Cooperstown on Tuesday. The first Japanese player ever elected to the Hall of Fame,

Former Houston Astros closer Billy Wagner's election to the Baseball Hall of Fame capped a climb with voters that few players have accomplished.

It’s time once again for Baseball Hall of Fame voting to be revealed, and it seems like it’s a lock — and deservedly so — that Ichiro Suzuki will be headed to Cooperstown. But will he be written in to every ballot by all the voting members of the BBWAA? On paper, he absolutely should be a no-doubt, first-ballot, unanimous selection.

The trio will be inducted into the Hall at Cooperstown on July 27 along with Dave Parker and Dick Allen, voted in last month by the classic era committee.

From 1936-2015, no players were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame with even 99 percent of the Baseball Writers Association of America's vote. A funny thing
