Digest more
From diapers to the disabled list, and now Cooperstown, Billy Wagner’s road has always been a little unconventional.
Wagner is the 11th Astros player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. He joins Jeff Bagwell, Iván Rodríguez, Craig Biggio, Randy Johnson, Nolan Ryan, Don Sutton, Nellie Fox, Joe Morgan, Eddie Mathews and Robin Roberts. Former manager Leo Durocher was also inducted. Bagwell and Biggio are the only two that played their entire careers with Houston.
