DETROIT -- While Alan Trammell awaits his Hall of Fame fate with the Modern Era Baseball committee next month, former Tigers Gary Sheffield, Johnny Damon and Aubrey Huff are among the eligible players on the traditional Hall of Fame ballot that eligible voters from the Baseball Writers' Association of America will consider.
Omar Vizquel, who served as Tigers first-base coach the past four seasons following a 24-year career as a Major League shortstop, is also on the ballot, which was released Monday. A candidate must receive 75 percent of the vote from BBWAA members to gain election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
