Why Alex Rodriguez Should Be In The National Baseball Hall Of Fame Alex Rodriguez was on the greatest players in Major League history, but his star was dimmed because of the use of performance -enhancing drugs.

My Hall of Fame ballot for 2026: Beltran, Pettitte, Rodriguez, Rollins, Utley. My pitch for why A-Rod is on there.

Ballot 5: anonymous, David Wright only

Ballot #5 is from a voter who wishes to remain anonymous. As a refresher, we are unable to report adds or drops, if any, on anonymous ballots.

This is the first ever known David Wright-only ballot. There will not be a unanimous inductee this year.

I wouldn’t say we’re having fun!

We will typically include the link if a column is written explaining the selections, and repost any that are shared on this platform. A lot of ballots are shared with us directly, however, so no link exists. In this case, Adam posted his ballot publicly over at X/Twitter, but did not write a column

Adam Rubin HOF Ballot: Beltrán, Jones, Manny, A-Rod, Rollins, Utley, Wright
