The 2021 National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot includes three former Pittsburgh Pirates. What odds does each have in making it to Cooperstown?
The last player from the Pittsburgh Pirates to make the National Baseball Hall of Fame and wear a Pirate cap on their plaque in Cooperstown was 1960 World Series hero Bill Mazeroski. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2001, so it’s been nearly 20 years since the Pittsburgh Pirates have got a new Hall of Fame player.
