Thome and Vizquel Placed On MLB Hall Of Fame Ballot
Former and beloved Cleveland Indians Jim Thome and Omar Vizquel were placed on the 2018 MLB Hall of Fame Ballot today, along with former Indian Manny Ramirez. While two of the three remained beloved, all three have numbers worthy of the hall.
It is very hard to get in on the first try, as you need 75 percent of votes from the writers in the BBWAA. Time will tell if any of them can snag enough to get in. Players can only stay on the ballot for 10 years or until they receive less than five percent of the vote.
