Looking back on the Yankees who fell off the Hall of Fame ballot

On Wednesday, the BBWAA elected Tim Raines, Jeff Bagwell, and Yankee legend Ivan Rodriguez to the Hall of Fame. On a crowded ballot, only these three managed to get enshrined in Cooperstown. Mike Mussina continued his slow climb as he rose from 43% of votes last year to now 51.8%. He will eventually get his day as he wins over voters. Unfortunately his former teammate, Jorge Posada, will not get another chance. While Posada undeniably had a remarkable career, he unfortunately fell off the ballot after just one year of eligibility.
