The Baseball Writers’ Association of America (BBWAA) released the list of candidates to enter the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Former members of the New York Yankees Nick Swisher (outfielder), AJ Burnett (starting pitcher) and LaTroy Hawkins (relief pitcher) are entering the ballot this year.
The last couple of Hall of Fame classes have been led by long-time successful members of the New York Yankees in Mariano Rivera (a unanimous vote) and Derek Jeter (a near-unanimous vote.)
Could a former member of the Yankees make it all the way to Cooperstown this year?
