Hall of Fame 2017: Check out the plaques for baseball's five new immortals
Five more baseball icons cemented their immortal status Sunday — Jeff Bagwell, Tim Raines, Ivan Rodriguez, Bud Selig and John Schuerholz were inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. They gave their speeches, got their ovations and saw their Cooperstown plaques for the first time.
If you plan on going to Cooperstown soon to be a good look at said plaques, then feel free to stop reading right now. But if you want to see the newly minted Hall of Fame plaques for all five men, here you go:
