Pretend Hall of Fame Ballot
This year’s Hall of Fame options are stacked. With returning players and new ones, at east 2 will get in. This would be my ballot if I could vote:
- Tim Raines
- Trevor Hoffman
- Vladimir Guerro
- Ivan Rodriguez
- Mike Mussina
- Edgar Martinez
- Billy Wagner
- Fred McGriff
- Curt Schilling
Notice how Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are not on there. I believe they had something to do with steroids, so I excluded them.
