Despite more than 500 homers, he's running out of time for induction into MLB's Hall of Fame
The 2023 National Hall of Fame ballot announced Monday features three former Padres, including Gary Sheffield on his second-to-last ballot.
Sheffield debuted on the ballot in 2015 with 11.7 percent of the vote and jumped from 13.6 percent in 2019 to 30.5 percent in 2020.He hit 509 home runs in his 22-year career, but his ties to PED usage have been an obstacle he’s been unable to clear in Hall of Fame balloting. Sheffield was traded to the Marlins in June 1993 in the deal that netted, among others, Hall of Fame closer Trevor Hoffman.
A two-time All-Star as a Padre, Street collected 80 of his 324 career saves in three years in San Diego. He was the 2005 AL Rookie of the Year with the Oakland Athletics. The only holdovers from the 2022 ballot to receive more than 50 percent of the vote are third baseman Scott Rolen , first baseman Todd Helton and closer Billy Wagner .
