For a sixth consecutive winter, No. 35 is hoping to reach the magic number of 75.
Mike Mussina, who played 18 seasons as a starting pitcher for both the Yankees and Baltimore Orioles during the peak of Major League Baseball’s “steroid era” (1991-2008), is once again in the running for a permanent plaque at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. The 2019 ballot — which includes Mussina’s former Yankee teammates Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte as first-year eligible candidates — was announced on Monday.
The voting results from last winter suggest Mussina is trending toward induction.
