In or Out? Examining the Hall of Fame Cases for MLB's Longest-Tenured Stars

It isn't easy to stick around in Major League Baseball. Even less easy, of course, is sticking around and building a Hall of Fame resume in the process.

So while we wait for the coronavirus pandemic to pass, we thought we'd sort through the Cooperstown cases for some of baseball's longest-tenured stars.

We hand-picked 10 active players (i.e., they played in the majors in 2019 and are still going) who have put together strong careers since debuting in the mid-2000s or even earlier. We then assessed their Hall of Fame candidacy and summed up their induction likelihood based on what they have, haven't and might still accomplish.
