The 2014 Hall of Fame results will be announced on Wednesday, January 8. After none of the players were inducted last year, at least one is expected to receive the required votes.
If I had a Hall of Fame ballot I would vote for (in alphabetical order by last name) Jeff Bagwell, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, Edgar Martinez, Mike Mussina, Mike Piazza, Tim Raines, and Curt Schilling. Frank Thomas and Larry Walker were the honorable mentions.
Jack Curry, an anchor for YES, posted his Hall of Fame ballot on Twitter. It is a simple piece of paper sent through the mail or faxed. It is amazing to see how a basic thing could lead to a important moment in any players' life.
Who would you induct into the Hall of Fame? Leave a comment below.
I remember a radio commentator stating the reason nobody was inducted last year was because of steroid use. I haven't seen the same said elsewhere (not that I was looking.) What is your take on this? And are we likely to see this again this year?
ReplyDeleteI don't think that any former steroid users will be inducted this year, but I am almost certain that Bonds, Sosa, Clemens, or another steroid user will be voted in eventually. This is due to the fact that now we are just realizing how common steroid use was, and how many great players used them.
