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! 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
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.
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.
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 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..🏆
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.
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
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
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.
Boycotting the Hall of Fame until Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, and Clemens are in. How can you let David Ortiz in?? He was always injured until he turned 29 and moved to Boston to get what Manny Ramirez was using.
Such a great man, human, and representative for MLB - LONG OVER DUE
He's FINALLY in and I couldn't be happier for him!
Wow he got cut in High School. Awesome he kept working to get better. Congratulations Crime Dog
Was at Crime Dog's first game with the Braves. The stadium caught fire.
Loved watching this guy with the Braves in the 90s. Great player. Greater person. This was long overdue.
Class Personified!
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 ❤️.
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!
The crime dog epitomized consistency. When he got ahold of one it went a country mile! Well deserved induction into the hall of fame.
Beautiful.
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.
The G⚾️AT.💪🏼💪🏼
🎉 WHOHOO! CONGRATS CRIME DOG!!! YOU TRULY ARE THE BEST!!! THANKS FOR THE AWESOME MEMORIES ⚾️🥇🎟👑🥳!!!
Beautiful speech. He deserved it so much.
Thank you Mr McGriff for all the professionalism and class to the game.
The GREATEST....
I wish mitchell and ness would make a fred mcgriff atlanta (away) jersey 😔
What a fantastic human being. Congrats, Fred!!
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.
Its a damn shame it took the committee this long to vote him in.
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

Thank you Fed for some great years especially for the Braves. You deserve it Fred!
The Crime Dog! The man could hit, no matter which uniform he was wearing.
So deserving!! I’ve waited a long time for this moment. Fred you has always been my favorite player.
Congrats brother! I’m so thrilled you’re in the Hall. Followed your career since your debut. 🎉
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.

Loved watching McGriff play in Atlanta. So happy he finally got inducted into the Hall Of Fame.
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.
Very happy for you, Fred. This is where you belong. Congratulations. Great speech.
❤
What a great pair of speeches today. 🏆🏆
It is hard not to tear up knowing his journey. I am so happy for him and his family.
So happy that he is finally in. One of the best and classiest players of his era who did things the right way!!! Congrats Fred!
Congratulations Crime Dog. Well deserved honor and long time coming.
Great speech, by a great ball player, more importantly, a great speech by a great man
Crime Dog!
He should have used the Tom Emanski Baseball World cap for his plaque.
Awesome speech, Fred. You are a true gentleman and great player. A true hall of famer!
Congratulations from Tampa! We're so happy for you!
Couldn’t have happened to a better soul! Congratulations Crime Dog!
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
Congrats crime dog, you’ll forever be one of my favs! Loved you in the ATL, and that follow through, none like it.
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!!
Congrats Fred. A true professional and great player.
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 👍
Congratulations!! How about we induct Albert Belle in the HOF soon.
Un orgullo para los fanáticos de los Leones del Escogido en la pelota de invierno Dominicana donde también bateó. Viva Fred McGriff.
Y tambiém para los Caimanes del Sur
Beautiful Swing Sir You Were Wonderful To Watch .
CRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME DOGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!
Tom Emanski must be so proud. 😂😂
Now that's getting RESULTS
Atlanta legend
Whooooo!!!!!!!! The Dawg is in the house!!! Congrats Big Dawg!!! Go Braves!!!!!!!

I'm so happy for the crime dog!
I had the pleasure of caddying for him great golfer and an even better person. Much love Crime Dog !
W mlb go Los Angeles
What a class act.
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.
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
Congratulations🎉
Crime Dog McGriff
⚾️ 🏟 💪
Part of the great mid 90's Atl lineup.
Tampa bay legend. thank you crime dog, now I can get your jersey a HOF patch .
And... now for Mattingly.
Long overdue, McGriff is IN!!!
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
Congrats
Long overdue !!!
Took them long enough
Crime Dog 👏👏
What channel was this on? I didn’t see this today?!!!!
Stubborn old Goose Gossage just won't let go of that big ol' thick handlebar mustache! 😂
He probably should've had a Devil Rays hat on the plaque
Atlanta, Toronto, San Diego retire his number
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
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.
Boycotting the Hall of Fame until Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, and Clemens are in. How can you let David Ortiz in?? He was always injured until he turned 29 and moved to Boston to get what Manny Ramirez was using.
The Crime dog .True professional.Absolutely crushed the ball .
Long over due. He was just so consistent for so long. Hated him playing my Reds, but man was he fun to watch.
I'm sure it means even more that he was voted in unanimously by former players after the writers failed to elect him.
Can u do Astros Vs Athletics
McGriff should have been a HOF a looooong time ago! Better late than never.
