The Baseball Writers Association of America will reveal its voting results Tuesday night for the 2023 Hall of Fame class. There is a good chance that, for the second time in three years, no player will get the necessary 75% of the votes to be inducted. In 2022, only David Ortiz made the cut.
That tells me — a voter for 35 years — two things:
One, it is a relatively weak class of candidates. The eligible player with the best chance for induction is Scott Rolen. He was a nice player, to be sure. But a Hall of Famer?
