It was fitting during the opening ceremony of a Cubs Convention celebrating the 2016 World Series team that chairman Tom Ricketts announced left-hander Jon Lester would be inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame.

Lester and Jody Davis, a longtime catcher and a key member of the beloved 1984 Cubs, will be the 2026 inductees, the team revealed Friday. The Cubs also posthumously honored former broadcaster Vince Lloyd with a place in their Hall of Fame and a lifetime achievement award.

‘‘I think it’s going to take a day or two to kind of really let it soak in and give you a better answer,’’ Lester said after the ceremony, his 2016 World Series ring glinting on the middle finger of his left hand. ‘‘But right now, obviously, I’m honored, I’m excited. I get a cool new jacket. I get to walk on stage with all the great Cubs legends — some that I grew up watching, some that were a little bit before that time, but still legends that you hear about.’’

Lester is considered one of the greatest free-agent signings in Cubs history. The Cubs won the Lester sweepstakes in December 2014, selling him on a bright future for the team. It was a turning point.

In 2015, Lester helped lead the Cubs to their first playoff berth in seven years. And in 2016, he finished second in National League Cy Young Award voting with a 19-5 record and 2.44 ERA. He was even better in the postseason (2.02 ERA) en route to the Cubs winning the World Series title.

In Lester’s six-year tenure with the Cubs (2015-20), he was 77-44 with a 3.64 ERA.

‘‘I want my legacy to be with my teammates,’’ Lester said. ‘‘I wanted them to know that I was doing everything possible every five days to take the ball for them. That’s it.’’

Lester played one more season after closing his chapter in Chicago and reached the 200-victory threshold in his career. His 2,488 strikeouts put him No. 41 on the all-time list.

Last week, the Red Sox also announced Lester would be inducted into their team Hall of Fame. He spent the first 8½ seasons of his major-league career with them and helped them win two World Series.

A call from the Baseball Hall of Fame might be next. Lester will appear on the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot for the first time next winter.

‘‘Getting this tonight and getting the Red Sox [honor] is — I don’t want to say more important to me because it’s not,’’ Lester said. ‘‘But it means more to me because this organization [and] the Red Sox’ organization value what I did. You get into the Hall of Fame . . . writers vote on that. They never saw me in the clubhouse.’’

Lester got into the Cubs Hall of Fame four years after his retirement. Davis had to wait longer.

‘‘This is my Hall of Fame,’’ Davis said with a humble smile. ‘‘This is as good as I could do. And just great teammates. My time here was so unbelievable; Cub fans are so unbelievable. And it really hasn’t sunk in yet, but, you know, I’ve been hoping for this for a while.’’

Davis was a two-time All-Star and the 1986 NL Gold Glove winner in his time with the Cubs (1981-88). When the Cubs ended a nearly four-decade-long playoff drought in 1984, Davis finished 10th in NL MVP voting. His teammate, late Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, took home the award.
