Billy Wagner is on the ballot for the Baseball Hall of Fame a 10th and final time.

Wagner : "I’ve never been one to count the eggs before they hatch" Wagner missed by five votes last time and this is his 10th chance to get in.

Wagner says fear of failure drove him to be as good as he could be.

John Smoltz would have been the greatest closer ever, ever, he says.

Keith Hernandez would be the best first baseman to ever play in the game, he adds.

The best way to play in New York is to win, the Mets ' No. 1st baseman says he didn't have too many down moments.

The Yankees ' '98 Yankees had the glue guys, they had the All-Stars, you name it, and they had winners on their team that believed they could win.

Watching his son Will play for Toronto was a lot of joy, he says.

He says he would do whatever he had to do to keep Hal Steinbrenner .
