The center-field roster of the Baseball Hall of Fame grew deeper on Tuesday with the announcement that Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones have been selected for induction.
Beltran was elected in his fourth year of eligibility after being named on 84.2% of the BBWAA ballots, easily clearing the 75% threshold for enshrinement. Jones was named on 78.4% of the ballots, just clearing the bar to earn election in his ninth and second-to-last year of eligibility.
