Raines’ vote total rises, but former Expo misses HOF

Tim Raines had a chance to join former Expos teammates Gary Carter and Andre Dawson in the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday, but the longtime switch-hitting outfielder fell short of election. Raines received 55 percent of the vote, up from the 46.1 percent he received last year. Raines was on the ballot for a eighth year.
