Fresh off his election into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in his final year on the ballot, Billy Wagner will receive the ultimate honor from the Astros.

In a video posted on X by sports writer Jose de Jesus Ortiz, Wagner leaned against a pool table while taking the call. He listened for more than 15 seconds before he put his hand on his face, fighting tears and hunching over. “Thank you,” he eventually said to the person on the other end of the phone.
