Former Yankee Rickey Henderson was elected into the Hall of Fame today, receiving 94.8% of the votes to lead all eligible candidates. Henderson played for the Yankees from 1985-89 and is still their all-time stolen base leader with 326.

Former Yank Tommy John (1979-82) fell a bit shy of the 75% needed in his final year of eligibility. David Cone received 21 out of a possible 539 (3.9%) votes in his first year of eligibility, falling short of the 5% needed to remain on future ballots. Don Mattingly received 11.9% of possible votes. Other former Yankees who fell short include Lee Smith, Tim Raines and Jesse Orosco, who some may forget pitched 15 games for the Yanks in 2003.
