Cincinnati Reds legend and my favorite all-time Red, Barry Larkin is headed to the baseball Hall of Fame.
Larkin received 86.4% of the vote.
Only 75% is needed to get voted in.
Larkin played 19 seasons in Cincinnati, capturing the 1990 World Series and the 1995 National League Most Valuable Player award.
Larkin was also a 12 time all-star, 3-time Gold Glove winner and 9-time Silver Slugger winner.
With Larkin's numbers, there was no doubt he would make it into Cooperstown, it was just a matter of when.
Well now we know.
The Hall of Fame induction is set for July 22, 2012.
