Billy Wagner discusses his road to the Hall of Fame

[@WOLFENCT]

So happy for Billy to get in. It shouldn't have taken this long especially when you consider he's a left hander. One of the most dominant closers of all-time! CONGRATS BW!!!

[@amancio2446]

He was a BAAAAD MAN! Loved and hated him as a SF GIANTS fan. RESPECT!

[@user-unknown1397]

As a long-time fan of his in Korea, I sincerely congratulate Billy on becoming a Hall of Fame member. 빌리 와그너 축하해요!! 난 한국에 있는 당신 올드팬입니다, 당신 투구는 정말이지 엄청나게 멋지고 감명깊었어요. 고맙습니다.

[@dominicano1911]

[@NickBradney]

Well respected brotha 🎉

[@ByronWarfield]

Way to go Billy Wagner! ATL loved having you!

[@alesitercrimson24]

3rd greatest closer ever and it took 10 years to get in. Thats insane.

[@NickBradney]

So happy to see him pitch for the Astros. My childhood memories 😭

[@pistolfanboy]

It's about time. He deserves this honor so much.

[@SG-jm7np]

I was a 5'9 pitcher and Billy Wagner was my favorite pitcher growing up.

[@calvinmotoyama6289]

Congrats Billy! Happy for you & your family, but sorry that it took soo long😅. Hope you’ll go in as an Astro⚾️🏟️🤞

[@umpireva5440]

I have umpired several of Billy's High School and Showcase teams of the years. He is a class act and truly a good guy. Well deserved honor.

[@johnthompsonnunu2556]

What a great guy!

[@deewilson3239]

Bless your heart

[@garimbi05091]

Congratulations on entering Cooperstown, Billy!

[@paulyp9853]

Besides Mariano - the greatest closer ever. So happy for a great pitcher and seems like a great dude.

[@ulyssesfister3735]

Nah Hoffman is the 2nd best. Billy is 3rd though.

[@paulyp9853]

@@ulyssesfister3735 I respect your opinion but disagree. With pitchers with 900 innings plus ----- Wagner has the lowest BA against with .187. Highest K's per 9 11.92. Hits per 9 with 5.99. Whip with .0997. Lowest opponent OPS .588. These are the most dominant numbers posted by a pitcher ever with minimum 900 innings. The reason why I have him 2nd to Mariano is because of the post season dominance by Mariano Mariano had 141 innings in the post season. Both Wagner and Hoffman had under 12 or less so its too small a sample size.

[@Toonhead]

(EXCUSE MY USE OF CAPS, LEGALLY BLIND IN ONE EYE AND POOR VISION IN THE OTHER) NOW I’M TEARING UP…..CONGRATS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, BILLY 👏🏾👏🏾

[@DrFred-rk2zq]

Remember when he came to atlanta. No matter the situaton you knew it was in safe hands and that he would shut it down

[@theoperry3236]

Astro for life

[@Abc713s.u.c]

And he reppin astros

[@robertrock8778]

Congrats to Billy, a fellow Ferrum Black Hat football player. Abe Naff saw his future in baseball and wouldn't let him play football anymore.

[@Brooklyncausy]

Congratulations..Thanks for the Met memories

[@sugibear123]

your son must be proud

[@dicekato]

Congrats Billy. Only racist Mark Gooden@National Inquirer refused to vote for Ichiro for unbelievable reasons. He destroyed MLB fans in Japan and should never vote again. Why he can vote from the beginning? BS.

[@gamingsquad2326]

Mark gooden is a parody account and dosent have a HOF vote

[@relentlesshaggler909]

This is ridiculous. Pete rose should be in before these bums.. hes like the 20th best pitcher on Astros since 90s

[@yaramyvargas4718]

He's not a Hall of famer. Hall of Fame let's anyone in

[@jksettle3294]

i pitched opposed to BW in college. we came up during Fall Ball from NC and all my southern teammates were abuzz about him. being from NJ, i had no idea who he was. we pulled into the field location in a huge pretty team bus. the field was a bit of an outpost - not much around. the parking lot was full of pickups with shotgun racks. hadn't seen anything like that before. we both came into the game late...i believe i came in around the 6th and BW around the 7th in a 0 v 0 game. if i remember correctly. big if. many years ago ~ 1992. and i only knew of Ferrum College b/c my older cousin failed out of it. she was from richmond, va. if i remember correctly, not one player made contact for a few innings. BW's legs were larger in diameter than my waist. he was a monster from waist down. the coaches let the game go into extra innings and our stud lefty first basemen hit a line drive homer just wrapping the pole about two feet off the fence line. i held the lead in the bottom half. we win 1-0. i'm sure there's more. i liked Fall Ball because you could do a lot of experimenting. i'm happy the writers have acknowledged BW's accomplishments. congrats to him and all of those recognized this year. didn't really like CC b/c i'm an O's fan but i have been really inspired by his community engagement post career. ty-
