Adrian Beltre, Todd Helton, Joe Mauer into Baseball Hall of Fame - ESPN

Adrian Beltre, Joe Mauer and Todd Helton are officially Hall of Famers.

The trio was voted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York, by the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Tuesday.

Beltre, who was voted in on 95.1% of the ballots, and Mauer (76.1%) got in during their first year on the ballot, while Helton (79.7%) made it in his sixth attempt.

Gary Sheffield received 63.9% support in his 10th and final year on the ballot. Billy Wagner fell just short, receiving 73.8%, in his second-to-last year on the ballot, missing induction by only five votes. Andruw Jones (61.6%) and Carlos Beltran (57.1%) also received support from more than half the voting populace.

Beltre, Mauer and Helton will be joined by Jim Leyland, the 22-year manager who was voted in by the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee in December.
