COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — “Pudge” Rodriguez stared out at his father and wiped away tears as he called his father a “double” Hall of Famer. Rodriguez was enshrined into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday.

He was joined by Jeff Bagwell and Tim Raines, along with former commissioner Bud Selig and front-office guru John Schuerholz.
