By Gemma Kaneko

On Wednesday evening, Ken Griffey Jr. was elected to the Hall of Fame with the highest percentage of ballots, well, ever. If you somehow missed this news, don't worry -- just look up. At least, if you live in Seattle.
When he heard about his former teammate's election, Jay Buhner was on top of the Space Needle, ready to raise a "24" flag.

Shout it from the very pointy rooftops: Ken Griffey Jr. is in the Hall of Fame!
