'It's 27 votes away,' Wagner told Post Sports+ this week. 'Everybody in the world has told me that everybody who gets this close gets in. It's nerve-racking. It's exciting. It's everything you want. Do you start thinking about the Hall of Fame speech? How do you react? It's a very uncomfortable feeling because you don't have control.'
Wagner received only 10.5% of the vote his first year on the ballot. By his fourth year, the number had only climbed to 16.7%. But his support has skyrocketed in the past four years.
