The 2021 Hall of Fame ballot has been announced! There are never any surprises here, as you can chart out ballot eligibility years in advance, but it’s still fun to see who officially makes the list each winter.
This year, four Oakland A’s stars join the group for consideration:
- RHP Tim Hudson
- LHP Barry Zito
- RHP Dan Haren
- OF Nick Swisher
Each player also had major achievements in other uniforms, but they all made their names here in Oakland first — three were drafted by the A’s, and Haren was acquired as a youngster before he’d even played a full MLB season.
