Torii Hunter, Dan Haren debut on baseball Hall of Fame ballot

The National Baseball Hall of Fame unveiled its ballot for 2021 election on Monday, with 11 newcomers among the 25 names available for election to baseball’s highest individual honor.

Torii Hunter and Dan Haren are two of the four former Angels on the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time, having both retired in 2015. Hunter has the best resume of the two, with his 50.7 career Wins Above Replacement, trailing only Mark Buehler (59.1) and Tim Hudson (57.9) among first-timers on the ballot.

Hunter was a nine-time Gold Glove Award winner and five-time All-Star who hit 353 home runs in 19 major league seasons.
