"Baseball Legends Scott Rolen and Fred McGriff Cement Friendship in Cooperstown Hall of Fame"

Rolen, known for his exceptional defense and above-average offensive production, received 76.3% of the votes, narrowly surpassing the 75% threshold. McGriff, who had an impressive career overshadowed by the performance-enhancing drugs era, was unanimously elected by the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee. Other honorees include Cubs radio voice Pat Hughes, journalist John Lowe, and pitcher Carl Erskine. The 2024 ballot is expected to feature notable names such as Adrián Beltré, Todd Helton, and Billy Wagner.
