Billy Wagner called his tenure with the Houston Astros "the best part" of his career in an emotional speech while accepting induction Sunday to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y .

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum officially welcomed five new members Sunday. This year's induction ceremony in Cooperstown, New York, honored the 2025 Hall of Fame class, led by the peerless Ichiro Suzuki.

Suzuki referened the lone writer who did not give him a Hall of Fame vote, saying that a previous invitation to dinner had now "expired."
