Watch: Mariano Rivera, Edgar Martinez React to Hall of Fame Induction Announcement

It was a special day for these legends.

Mariano Rivera and Edgar Martinez are bound for Cooperstown.

The Baseball Writers' Association of America announced the inductees into the 2019 Hall of Fame class on Tuesday, enshrining Rivera and Martinez alongside Roy Halladay and Mike Mussina.

Rivera also became the first player in MLB history to be unanimously voted into the Hall of Fame. The news came to loud cheers within Rivera's household.

The Rivera family's reaction to being told Mariano is the first unanimous HOF inductee is AMAZING 💯

The greatest closer in the history of the game, Rivera tallied an MLB all-time record 652 saves over the span of his 19-year career with the Yankees. Rivera won five American League Rolaids Relief Man Awards and three Delivery Man of the Year Awards, finishing in the top three in voting for the AL Cy Young award four times.

It took 10 years on the ballot for Martinez to get the call, but he too was relieved when he heard the news.
