David Ortiz was the lone player elected by the BBWAA for the Baseball Hall of Fame class of 2022. A three-time World Series champion with the Red Sox whose hitting aged remarkably well, Ortiz demolished the Marlins in limited interleague matchups against them, slashing .343/.442/.886 with 11 home runs in 86 plate appearances. Frustrating results for those hoping to see the Marlins represented in Cooperstown: Gary Sheffield received the same 40.6% of the vote as he did the previous year, barely getting halfway to the 75% threshold.
