This is absolutely incredible news. I was hoping the crime dog got in eventually! Dude was a MONSTER in the 90s and did it with that classic 70s power hitter body. Definitely no PEDs! Congrats
Fred! A great player on some of the great Braves teams of the Nineties. A great guy and a gentleman. Congratulations. Edit: He was a perfect cleanup hitter for the Braves.
Don’t know you never watch a baseball game I am Fromm Trinidad’ and Tobago but just happen to be scrolling through what a humble gentleman wish there could be more of you in sporting activities god bless you
I don't think Fred gets his due respect. 493 HR. 10 years of 30 or more. Played in the steroid era and was never suspected or accused of using PED's. He should have been in long ago.
@@brianconnelly1238 Guessing your an 80s baby too, huh? Them Giants ain't making life very easy on yous this season. I know we're division rivals but I'm actually starting to feel bad for new yorks fan base-- football and baseball. Yous can't catch a break! Every one of your teams is stinking it up! Should've never gave Daniel Jones that huge contract bro. He's not the guy!
Fred McGriff has and always will be a favorite. I miss that era of baseball and still have Crime Dawg's rookie cards, just looking at them bring backs a flood of good memories. Class act, great speech, and well deserved HoF induction.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer dude. Congratulations Fred. Love the charismatic attitude. Still a kid at heart. Not just the “Crime Dog”. Also known as the “Fire Dog” because of that first night in Atlanta.
I played with Fred. Always a gentleman. Always a friend. Probably one if the nicest guys I ever met. THIS is the kind of man kids can aspire to be like.
Thatta boy Freddie! Look at that smile He’s so proud to be elected And as a Jays fan I’m proud he got in Wonderful player Consistent, hard worker and a great guy
I was born in atlanta the year the braves came to atlanta..1966..i remember watching hank Aaron as a kid..But my favorite braves player will always be fred mcgriff..He didnt show boat or dance around when he hit a homerun fred was all about buisness and his buisness was helping the Atlanta braves win a world championship in 1995..Thank you fred for the great memories in Atlanta and all of your career .God bless you..🏆
Somewhere right now, Barry Bonds in crying in a corner. He celebrated too early in 1993..moking the braves saying they wouldn't catch them. Then the crime dog joined the team and they did indeed catch them. Now Fred is in the Hall of Fame and Barry is not. That's GOT to be damaging his ego right now.
Well deserved and long overdue. But I'm thinking if he had played 1 more season and hit 7 more home runs he would have been in on the first or second ballot. Not that it matters now.
He's FINALLY in and I couldn't be happier for him!
Such a great man, human, and representative for MLB - LONG OVER DUE
Fred McGriff was one of my First Favorite Baseball Players, he was one of the reasons I became a Atlanta Braves Fan.
I feel you on that one. That 1995 squad was loaded, especially on the mound!
Isn’t it nice to see a truly good guy up there?
not 2 mention Fred looks like he's only 40 years old even though he's 60.
Loved watching this guy with the Braves in the 90s. Great player. Greater person. This was long overdue.

Loved Griff and the Braves back in the 90s
Thank you Mr McGriff for all the professionalism and class to the game.
Fred! A great player on some of the great Braves teams of the Nineties. A great guy and a gentleman.
Congratulations.
Edit: He was a perfect cleanup hitter for the Braves.

Darn tootin! Once upon a time, there was a fire. And the rest is history.
What a fantastic human being. Congrats, Fred!!
Beautiful speech. He deserved it so much.
Congrats Crimedog you are now an official baseball legend well deserved
A gentleman and a fair player. humility springs from all sides.
I don't think Fred gets his due respect. 493 HR. 10 years of 30 or more. Played in the steroid era and was never suspected or accused of using PED's. He should have been in long ago.
Strike stole those 7 homers.
Hats off to the “Crime Dog”! Well deserved. Thank you for the memories in Atlanta!
Thank you Fed for some great years especially for the Braves. You deserve it Fred!
Wow he got cut in High School. Awesome he kept working to get better. Congratulations Crime Dog
Jordan was cut from his HS team and So was Fred True Greatness in never giving up and improving yourself
I loved watching him on the Braves. Such a great player and a great man.
As a kid, even as a Phillies fan, I valued my Fred McGriff cards like I did my Jordan cards and special editions. Way to go Fred! Woo hoo!
I did too my man

The Crime Dog! The man could hit, no matter which uniform he was wearing.
Congratulations from Tampa! We're so happy for you!

Congrats crime dog, you’ll forever be one of my favs! Loved you in the ATL, and that follow through, none like it.
Couldn’t have happened to a better soul! Congratulations Crime Dog!
I remember watching him when I was a kid play for my Dodgers (2003). Dang it’s been 20 years since he retired. Time flies.
What a great player. Well-earned place in baseball immortality!!

The G⚾️AT.💪🏼💪🏼
🎉 WHOHOO! CONGRATS CRIME DOG!!! YOU TRULY ARE THE BEST!!! THANKS FOR THE AWESOME MEMORIES ⚾️🥇🎟👑🥳!!!
As a young teenager, I used to always emulate his follow-through swing playing baseball (with a tennis ball) on the street. He had a super cool swing.
Dude I loved his helicopter swing
About time McGriff got inducted. Took long enough. McGriff is the player that got me into baseball when I was a wee lad of 8
Tampa bay legend. thank you crime dog, now I can get your jersey a HOF patch .
The Crime dog .True professional.Absolutely crushed the ball .
The crime dog epitomized consistency. When he got ahold of one it went a country mile! Well deserved induction into the hall of fame.
Merecido!!!
Beautiful Swing Sir You Were Wonderful To Watch .
I’m a lifelong A’s fan. I remember my cheeks clinching when we had to face him 😂. Long overdue. Congrats to the Crime Dog 👍
Merecido Fred . Dios te bendiga
Recuerdo 1995 Atlanta campeón de MLB🇵🇦
My big cousin❤. He was such a huge part in helping my grandmother raise me and my brother. So proud he got his much deserved ❤️.
I had the pleasure of caddying for him great golfer and an even better person. Much love Crime Dog !
I was born in atlanta the year the braves came to atlanta..1966..i remember watching hank Aaron as a kid..But my favorite braves player will always be fred mcgriff..He didnt show boat or dance around when he hit a homerun fred was all about buisness and his buisness was helping the Atlanta braves win a world championship in 1995..Thank you fred for the great memories in Atlanta and all of your career .God bless you..🏆
Crime Dog!
Class Personified!
Long over due. He was just so consistent for so long. Hated him playing my Reds, but man was he fun to watch.
ABOUT DAMN TIME
What a class act.
Congratulations!! How about we induct Albert Belle in the HOF soon.
Atlanta legend
Beautiful.
Crime Dog 👏👏
What channel was this on? I didn’t see this today?!!!!
So happy for the Crime Dog!
Dude had the name of a home run hitter
Its a damn shame it took the committee this long to vote him in.
Fred was one of my hero's he played the game correctly shouldn't have taken this long!!
Part of the great mid 90's Atl lineup.
A great player but an even better human being so happy for you fred long overdue
Congratulations🎉
Crime Dog McGriff
⚾️ 🏟 💪
congrats to the crime dog for his hof induction
W mlb go Los Angeles
Long overdue, McGriff is IN!!!
McGriff should have been a HOF a looooong time ago! Better late than never.
The GREATEST....
Tom Emanski must be so proud. 😂😂
Now that's getting RESULTS
Stubborn old Goose Gossage just won't let go of that big ol' thick handlebar mustache! 😂
Somewhere right now, Barry Bonds in crying in a corner. He celebrated too early in 1993..moking the braves saying they wouldn't catch them. Then the crime dog joined the team and they did indeed catch them. Now Fred is in the Hall of Fame and Barry is not. That's GOT to be damaging his ego right now.
Long overdue !!!
Finally MLB got it right
Congrats
Way Overdue!
He probably should've had a Devil Rays hat on the plaque
Can u do Astros Vs Athletics
He should have used the Tom Emanski Baseball World cap for his plaque.
I'm sure it means even more that he was voted in unanimously by former players after the writers failed to elect him.
CRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME DOGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!
I wonder if anyone has asked him what it felt like to get rung up by Eric Gregg in game 5 of the 1997 NLCS.
This man retired in 2005 come on man.......
100% FIRST CLASS
❤
Well deserved and long overdue. But I'm thinking if he had played 1 more season and hit 7 more home runs he would have been in on the first or second ballot. Not that it matters now.
