There has been a logjam of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in recent years. After 20 candidates being elected in the past six years, that crowded list is clearing up.
On Monday, the 2020 ballot was released. There are 18 new-comers to the ballot this year, including three former Phillies. Bobby Abreu, Cliff Lee, and Raul Ibanez will all have their first chance on the ballot. They will join three other former Phillies already on the ballot; Scott Rolen, Curt Schilling, and Billy Wagner.
Six of the 32 names on the ballot are former Phillies, making up roughly 19% of the total ballot.
