The Baseball Hall of Fame announced its 2018 ballot Monday and a few former Cubs are included.
Now, let me get this out of the way. Neither of those pitchers is anywhere near Hall-worthy, and I’d expect both of them to fall off the ballot after one voting season. It is, at the very least, a measure of the passage of time to realize that both of them have been out of baseball for five seasons, the minimum amount of time for any player to be considered for Hall induction.
There will be 33 players on the 2018 Hall ballot.
