gold star for USAHOF

Is this the year Curt Schilling makes it into the National Baseball Hall of Fame? Will Schilling be the only player elected to the Hall this year? After all the tumultuous voting activity of the 2010s, has voting for the Hall returned to "normal"?

Only a crystal ball, or the patience to wait until voting results for the 2021 Baseball Hall of Fame are announced on January 26, 2021, can give us the definitive answers, but of course that doesn't stop us from prognosticating before we learn the results.

For now, the short answers are:

1. Maybe.

2. Possibly.

3. Likely.

2021 BBWAA Hall of Fame Ballot: Executive Summary

With a wide variety of pitches, Dan Haren used equal parts skill and craftiness to carve out an effective thirteen-year career in Major League Baseball, the best of which was spent with the Diamondbacks.

297. Dan Haren

A three-time All-Star, Dan Haren played for a lot of teams in MLB (8), but also has the distinction of being one of the few players to have defeated all 30 MLB teams.  When Haren was on, he was known for a dazzling array of pitches and exceptional control.  Haren was a three time league leader in SO/BB and as of this writing is in the top ten all-time in that category.  Haren also had two top ten finishes in Cy Young voting.
