Two former baseball greats joined the ranks of the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Jan. 20, as the Baseball Writers’ Association of America’s 2026 balloting results were revealed on MLB Network. Baseball’s all-time homer king, and Sosa and McGwire’s legendary 1998 home-run chase that electrified the baseball world, are not immortalized. I do not believe the Hall of Fame should be the Hall of Statistics, and in many cases, neither do the voters. The Hall of Fame should not be the Hall of wins above replacement either, but Vizquel posted a lower career mark – 45.6 – than did Wright. Make it make sense, Hall voters.
