A former St. Louis Cardinals star is back on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot which means we’ll learn soon if this is the year when Carlos Beltrán finally gets above the required 75% threshold.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame released the 2026 ballot today which revealed 27 candidates including 12 new ones who will now have their chance to enter baseball immortality.
