  • Kent, a five-time All-Star, finished with career totals:.290 average, 377 home runs, including 351 as a second baseman, and 1,518 RBIs, plus the 2000 National League MVP.
  • The BBWAA will announce its balloting results on Jan. 20, and Kent will be inducted in Cooperstown, New York, on July 26, with candidates receiving 75%.
  • The panel's vote left several prominent names with fewer than five votes, affecting future ballots; Delgado received nine votes, Mattingly and Murphy six, while Bonds, Clemens, Sheffield and Valenzuela fell below five.
