Griffey, Piazza swung for fences as kids, too

But they still managed to arrive at the same destination: the Hall of Fame. When Cooperstown called on Wednesday, it validated the decades of hard work that each player had put into achieving their goal. The Hall's newest members recounted their journeys from backyard games to the big leagues and offered advice for kids following in their footsteps.
