Legendary outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. and catcher Mike Piazza have been voted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Piazza was a 12-time All-Star and is considered the best-hitting catcher of all-time. The catcher was elected in his second year of eligibility; Griffey was selected in his first year.
