Although the Oakland A’s have five former members of the organization on the 2021 Hall of Fame ballot, none of them are going to be enshrined.
The announcement of the Hall of Fame ballot is an exciting time for every fanbase. It is a chance to look back at some of the players that played for the franchise, and hope that maybe they can get their due.
