Bronx Pinstripes 2019 Hall of Fame Voting
The National Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2019 class will be announced on Jan. 22 and will be inducted in late July. The name of prominence for Yankees fans is Mariano Rivera, who some believe has a shot to be the first unanimous entrant. Even with the notion that voters’ ballots will become public, others still see one or two people holding out.
Other notable newcomers include Roy Halladay, Todd Helton, and another Yankee in Andy Pettitte. Returnee Edgar Martinez just missed the mark last year, receiving 70.4 percent of the required 75 percent to get in. And those of the likes of Barry Bonds, Gary Sheffield, Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens, and Manny Ramirez have had their careers clouded by performance-enhancing drug accusations.
The Bronx Pinstripes team went to the ballots to cast their votes for who they thought should be inducted. Below are the results.

As you can see, Mariano was unanimous among the ten voters, as was Edgar Martinez. Mike Mussina, Roger Clemens, and Barry Bonds also would have gotten in using the 75 percent rule. Roy Halladay comes close, receiving seven votes with Larry Walker getting six.
As aforementioned, the 2019 class will be announced next month and will officially become a part of baseball immortality on July 21 in Cooperstown.
