A-Rod, “Big Papi” lead the ballot for next year’s Baseball Hall of Fame ceremonies

Who’s coming to Cooperstown next summer? The 400-or-so voting members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America are on their way to deciding, and the National Baseball Hall of Fame announces the voting results on January 25, live on MLB Network.

Big names new to ballot include Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz, Justin Morneau, Ryan Howard, and Jimmy Rollins, along with pitchers Tim Lincecum and Jake Peavy, join 17 holdovers from the 2021 balloting — which failed to produce a new Hall of Famer.

Candidates elected to the Hall would be a part of Induction Weekend, scheduled for July 22-25, 2022, in Cooperstown.
