By RONALD BLUM (AP Baseball Writer) NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jim Leyland, who led the Florida Marlins to a World Series title in 1997 and won 1,769 regular-season games over 22 seasons as an entertaining and at-times crusty big league manager, was elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame on Sunday. Now 78, Leyland received 15 of 16 votes by the contemporary era committee for managers, executives and umpires.
