New Inductees Piazza and Griffey Jr. Are Key Peices Added to the Hall

Every year former greats are inducted as new members, either based on their performance, effect on the game, or both, or even more than that. Some potential inductees have yet to get in, those who made, or were a crucial part of the history of baseball. Mike Piazza is arguably the greatest hitting catchers of all-time, and Griffey Jr was the modern Willie Mays on the field.
