Days from the January 24, 2023, announcement by the National Baseball Hall of Fame of candidates who may have been elected by the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA), the burning question is not who those candidates, if any, will be. Instead, the burning question is: What morality are BBWAA voters going to legislate for the Hall of Saints this year?

For more than a decade, the controversy over performance-enhancing drugs (PED) has consumed discussion about who should or should not be elected to the Hall, capped by the late Hall of Famer Joe Morgan's now-infamous 2017 missive to voters about keeping the PED Penitents out of Cooperstown. But although the PED predicament remains—among the returning candidates on the 2023 BBWAA ballot are Manny Ramirez and Álex Rodriguez—voters are now finding other performance flaws in candidates to deny them entrance to the Hallowed Hall.

Huston Street would be named the American League Rookie of the Year in 2005 when the Oakland Athletic would record 23 Saves.  Street would remain a closer for the majority of his career and he would have a 37 Save Season with Oakland in 2006, 35 with Colorado in 2009 and would later be a two-time All-Star with the San Diego Padres, the second of which would see him have a career high 41 Saves when he was traded to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim late in the year.  Street would have four seasons where he finished in the top ten of Win Probability Added and would retire with 324 Saves.
