While it was a disappointment for one of the most beloved Mariners ever, another rise in votes seems to indicate he has a great chance to make it next season, his final year on the ballot.
The dream of Edgar Martinez getting voted into the Hall of Fame still remains. Unfortunately for he and his fans, it won’t happen this year for one the most beloved players in franchise history.
Martinez’s name was not announced Wednesday among the four selections, which included third baseman Chipper Jones, first baseman/designated hitter Jim Thome, outfielder Vlad Guerrero and closer Trevor Hoffman.
