HENDERSON AND RICE ELECTED TO THE HALL OF FAME

昨日はHall of Fameの選考結果の発表がありましたが、ついにジム・ライスが殿堂入りしました！
もう一人は盗塁王リッキー・ヘンダーソン。これは当然ですね。

Henderson was listed on 511 ballots (94.8%) to win election in his first year on the ballot. He becomes the 44th player to be elected by the BBWAA in his first year eligible.

ヘンダーソンは511票(94.8%)を獲得して初年度の選考で当選。

Rice was listed on 412 ballots (76.4%) in his 15th and final time on the BBWAA ballot. He becomes the third player elected by the BBWAA in his final year of eligibility, following Red Ruffing (1967) and Ralph Kiner (1975). Rice received seven votes more than the minimum needed for election.

一方ライスは412票(76.4%)を獲得、15度目で最後の選考年だった。

ふたりともおめでとうございます。これでライスのNo. 14も永久欠番ですね。
