The 2019 Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot has been released. It features several former Yankees, including newcomers Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte.
Rivera is likely a first-ballot lock, as the greatest closing pitcher of all time holds the record for the most saves (652) and games finished (952) through his 19-year career.
