Pedro Martinez is going to Cooperstown

The iconic Latino pitcher who dominated the late 90s and the early part of the new millenium was successfully elected Tuesday into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

With Martinez, Randy Johnson, John Smoltz and Craig Biggio were also elected.

In order to be elected, a player must receive at least 75 percent of the votes. Martinez passed with flying colors receiving 91.1 percent of possible votes, and he now is officially a first ballot Hall of Famer. Randy Johnson received the most votes with 97.3 percent of support.

Martinez had an unbelievable career that saw him win three Cy Young Awards, a World Series championship with the Boston Red Sox in 2004, and 3,154 strikeouts. Martinez also made eight All-Star games in his career. Martinez's Hall of Fame career spanned 18 remarkable years with the Montreal Expos, Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers.

Not only will Martinez be remembered for his achievements on the field, but he is now the second ever Dominican-born player elected into Cooperstown. The other being Juan Marichal, who was elected in 1983.

"So many people in the Dominican Republic and so many people all over the world got to know me as a player but not as a person. "What I mean to the Dominican Republic -- it was a great honor to just have the opportunity to go on the first ballot" said Martinez.

Notables such as Roger Clemens, Jeff Bagwell, Mike Piazza and Barry Bonds did not make the Hall of fame this year.
