Besides the guys that already appear on the ballots —such as Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, and Jeff Kent, though they were part of the team for only a few seasons—, there were no notable Astros players on the Hall of Fame ballots this time. It’s time to look beyond 2021 and see who are the next former ballplayers to join the list and dream of HOF glory.
For the 2022 ballots, we’ll see former center-fielder Michael Bourn, who made his debut and spent four years with the Astros. Then things will get serious the following year, when OF/DH Carlos Beltrán and RHP Chad Qualls will get their first chance in ‘23.
