NEW YORK (AP) — Barry Larkin was the only player elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame on Monday.

Jack Morris was next with 382 votes (67 percent), missing by 48 votes on his 13th try but up sharply from 54 percent last year. The pitcher has two chances left on the BBWAA ballot.

Jeff Bagwell was third at 56 percent, followed by Lee Smith (51 percent), Tim Raines (49 percent), Alan Trammell (37 percent) and Edgar Martinez (37 percent).

Mark McGwire, 10th on the career home run list with 583, received 19.5 percent in his sixth try on the ballot, down from 19.8 percent last year and 23.7 percent in 2010 — a vote before he admitted using steroids and human growth hormone.

I'd like to see JacK Morris and Alan Trammell both get in. I got to see the 84 Tigers play in Detroit back in the day. They was an awesome team. Trammell and Whitaker were an awesome double play combo.

Glad to see Larkin get in though.
