Sutton was welcomed into Cooperstown in 1998. The Baseball Hall of Fame said he was inducted "on the strength of a career that was a perpetual string of consistent excellence."

"All I ever wanted to be was a pitcher growing up," Sutton once said. "I really didn’t want to be a Dodger or an Astro or a Spokane Indian or a Toledo Mud Hen. I wanted to be a pitcher."
