The 2015 National Baseball Hall of Fame class of Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz and Craig Biggio presented the "Top Ten Things I Said When I Learned I Made the Baseball Hall of Fame" on the LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN, last night, Wednesday, Jan. 7 (11:35 PM-12:37 AM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Among the items they present are number 10, read by Martinez: "Maybe I should make baseball my career"; number 9, read by Johnson: "One step closer to becoming People Magazine's 'Sexiest Man Alive'"; number 8, read by Biggio: "Second biggest thrill? Showering with Roger Clemens"; and number 7, read by Smoltz: "Ooh, what will I wear to the ceremony?" Their entire Top Ten can be seen on the LATE SHOW tonight.

Johnson, Martinez and Smoltz were voted in Tuesday by the Baseball Writers' Association of America on their first time on the ballot. Biggio was selected in his third year. For the first time since 1955, four players were elected in a single election, and it marks the first time ever that three pitchers were voted in on a single election. The Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony is scheduled for July 26 in Cooperstown, NY.

One look at the LATE SHOW makes it apparent that the program, which is often imitated but never matched, is unlike any other talk show. With its commitment to showcasing the most sought-after stars in entertainment, music, sports and politics, as well as its around-the-town remotes and visits to local establishments, its surprise guest appearances, inventive comedy segments and signature Top Ten List, the LATE SHOW delivers an unpredictable hour of innovative viewing each night.
