Former Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez will appear on this year’s ballot.
From 2003-2011, the hot corner at Wrigley Field was manned by Cubs fan-favorite Aramis Ramirez. The now 42-year-old retired third baseman, who hung up his cleats and glove after the 2015 season, is eligible for the Hall of Fame. He is officially on the 2021 ballot, along with 10 other first-year eligible players.
Ramirez played 1,124 of his 2,194 career MLB games in a Chicago Cubs uniform. He was traded to the Cubs in July 2003 along with Kenny Lofton from the Pittsburgh Pirates and played through the 2011 season before signing with Milwaukee as a free agent.
