Houston Astros legend Billy Wagner Hall of Fame voting tracker

The Houston Astros have had a pretty good run of Hall of Famers in the last decade. While Randy Johnson (Diamondbacks) and Ivan Rodriguez (Rangers) both went into the Hall of Fame donning different caps, they still spent time in Houston. However, the two the represent this era of Houston baseball, Jeff Bagwell (class of 2017) and Craig Biggio (class of 2015), have both recently joined the elite of the elite. Now, it is another franchise icon looking to join the illustrious group.

Billy Wagner, entering his 10th and final year on the Hall of Fame ballot, fell just short last year, 73.8% of the 75% needed. Wagner will look to join his former teammates, honoring their incredible careers.

Wagner spent his first nine years in Houston and it was an impressive one. In those nine years, Wagner threw 504.1 innings with a 2.53 ERA. His 12.4 K/9 showed he was a 5'10 lefty that was an absolute bulldog. He earned three All-Star nods in Houston, along with a top five Cy Young finish in 1999.

He would go on to spend another eight years split between the Mets, Phillies, Braves and Red Sox. He would appear in another four All-Star games and peaking with another historic year in 2006 when he finished sixth in Cy Young voting. His career numbers (903 innings, 2.31 ERA, 1,196 strikeouts and 422 saves) are numbers deserving of the Hall of Fame. Hopefully the voters get it right this year.
