HALL OF FAME BALLOT ANNOUNCED! Who will comprise the Class of 2025?

[@LOLMAN9538]

Ichiro is an absolute no-brainer

[@taze27]

Prime years Ichiro was a beast, no pitcher wanted a part of him. Eyes like a hawk at the plate and the outfield. ⚾️

[@basark314]

Ichiro with the MLB record of 262 hits in a single season and 10 consecutive years of 200+ hits. It should be obvious.

[@hhhaaa7735]

Ichiro joined the major leagues at the age of 28, and even though he was too late, he did great things and left a record!

Fact these guys are on the ballot makes me feel warm inside. Every ballot from here on I’ll be aware of everyone’s playing career, but with these guys I was a kid watching them, mimicking them, playing baseball: love for the game coming into bloom. Bless ‘em all

Very telling of CC and Ichiro's careers specifically when you look at the visual quality between their first and last clips.

[@wilburwood8261]

Ichiro was already 27 when he came over to play in MLB Sabathia was only 20 and much younger when he started

[@whatferd]

You have some good ones but I wouldn't be surprised if both McCann and Zobrist get less than 5% and fall off the ballot the 1st year. Neither have quality career offensive numbers. They are both position players and unless you are Ozzie Smith it is about career offensive numbers. As far as Gold Gloves go Mattingly and Kieth Hernandez has multiple each yet are not in

[@brandon-ww3mu]

Zobrist is most definitely getting less than 5%. Be lucky to get 3%. McCann may get higher than 5

[@Erie-Momo-0206]

Ichiro definitely

[@allainangcao28]

Forget Ichiro's numbers, the impact he had on baseball in general should warrant him a unanimous hall of famer. The first to cross to MLB via posting system, leading to future players like Matsui, Ohtani, Senga, Yamamoto, and soon Roki Sasaki to join MLB, further expanding baseball's popularity.

[@srellison561]

For me, Ichiro is a no-brainer, but there are some great players on this ballot.

from what I saw. Billy Wagner Ichiro CC Sebathia seem almost certain to get in. Felix Hernandez has a very strong case to get in. Andruw Jones is looking like next year. Everyone else may take a while but I expect Pedroia, Tulo, McCann to eventually make it of the 1st years. Everyone else I'm not certain of.

Ichiro and CC no doubt should go in. Ichiro needs to be unanimous!! He had over 1200 hits in Japan plus over 3000 hits in MLB. He was already 27 years old before he had his 1st mlb hit. Let that sink in. All those Colorado rockies aren't even close!! They played in Colorado, they need to pump out higher averages than the rest of the league.

Felix Hernandez, Ichiro, CC Sabathia will be first ballot. Pedroia has Manny Machado to thank for cutting his career short (if i remember right) which may cost him an HOF spot. Carlos Gonzales has Colorado to thank for costing him a spot. Brian McCann playing for 2017 Astros could cost him a spot. Granderson and Kinsler should get in but may not make it first time. Russell Martin could go either way.
