Congratulations to Barry Larkin, the newest member of the Baseball Hall of Fame! Larkin was voted in on his third year on the ballot, amassing 86.4% to get in.

Courtesy of BBWAA:

Larkin, who was in his third year of eligibility, received 495 votes, for an 86.4-percent plurality. His vote total reflected a 24.3-percent gain from the 2011 ballot, the largest jump in one year to gain election since 1948 when pitcher Herb Pennock received 77.7 percent of the vote after having tallied 53.4 percent in 1947. Larkin’s jump is the largest for any Hall of Fame election in which at least 400 ballots were cast. The previous highest was the 16.4-percent jump by first baseman Tony Perez from 1999 (60.8) to 2000 (77.2).

As for notable former Yankees, Bernie Williams will stay on the ballot with 9.6%, while Don Mattingly totaled 17.8%.

Follow me after the jump for the entire voting results.

There you have it, folks. Thoughts?

Also, I will have a Jorge Posada retirement post up soon, and what do you think of possibly putting together a Yankees Hall of Fame here on the site? Coming up with a pool of players, voting on each once and seeing who gets in? Comment away!
