A trio of former Dodgers are among 15 new players on the 2016 Baseball Writers Association of America Hall of Fame ballot that was announced on Monday. Another former Dodger, Mike Piazza, is the top returning player and could be elected to Cooperstown as early as next year.
Garret Anderson, Brad Ausmus and Mark Grudzielanek are the three former Dodgers in their first time on the ballot, though the trio played just a combined 455 games and six seasons in Los Angeles. The headlining newcomer on the ballot is Ken Griffey Jr.
