Sunday was a great day to welcome six new members to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Mariano Rivera, Harold Baines, Mike Mussina, Roy Halladay, Lee Smith and Edgar Martinez all officially were inducted into the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Brandy Halladay, wife of the late Blue Jays and Phillies pitcher, delivered an emotional speech on behalf of her husband, while Rivera shared the story of how he learned to speak English. Of course, there were so many other unforgettable moments from Sunday afternoon.
Check out some of the best sights and sounds:

"I tried to carry the pinstripes as best that I could. I think I did alright with that." We'd say so, Mo.
