Earlier this week, former Boston Red Sox reliever Billy Wagner was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's Class of 2025 after a 10-year wait on the ballot. Wagner played with the Red Sox for just a couple of months in 2009, but he made an impact with some of Boston's best, including closer Jonathan Papelbon.

Wagner had a 1.98 earned run average and struck out 22 of the 56 batters he faced in his 15 games for the Red sox in 2009.
