Yay for Jimmy, boo for Scott Rolen
The 2022 Hall of Fame voting results were revealed this week. Only one player was elected to the Hall of Fame, and he certainly wasn’t a former Phillie. However, two former Phillies did earn enough votes to stay on the ballot another year and perhaps increase their chances in the years to come.
Phillies-related thought of the week
On his first year on the Hall of Fame ballot, Jimmy Rollins didn’t come close to passing the 75% threshold necessary for induction. But by receiving more than 5% of the votes, he will be back on the ballot next year.
