Here's how Twitter reacted to the Baseball Hall of Fame induction

Seriously, why isn't it called the "basehall"?

There's something special about the Baseball Hall of Fame. Reaching the pinnacle of achievement is difficult for any professional athlete, but in baseball it feels just about impossible to make the kind of impact required to make into into Cooperstown.

Any event like this naturally leads to buzz, and here's how Twitter reacted to the induction ceremony.

HOF special thanks to T Load La Russa & Big Hurt for mentioning me during their induction speeches today! #clubbielove

Joe Torre is an inhuman monster. RT @susanslusser: Joe Torre gives full play by play of the Jeter flip in Game 3 during his HoF speech.
