For a fifth consecutive winter, No. 35 is hoping to reach the magic number of 75.
Mike “Moose” Mussina, who played 18 seasons as a starting pitcher for the Yankees and Baltimore Orioles during the peak of baseball’s “steroid era”, is once again in the running for a permanent plaque in Cooperstown, N.Y. at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
According to Hall of Fame voting tracker Ryan Thibodaux, 106 total ballots submitted by the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) have been made public, and thus far, Mussina has been checked off on 70.
