Good morning, Birdland!
In lieu of any interesting Orioles news, we will have to settle for the announcement of the 2024 Hall of Fame class. It was revealed on Tuesday evening that Adrián Beltré, Todd Helton, and Joe Mauer would comprise the group that gets inducted on July 21 in Cooperstown. Jim Leyland will also be part of the class after being voted in by the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee back in December.
I’m not one to get overly worked up about Hall of Fame voting, but this certainly seems like a worthy trio of players.
