Adrián Beltré, Joe Mauer, and Todd Helton will gain entrance in the immortal club as they each got over the 75-percent threshold needed from the Baseball Writers Association of America ballot, as revealed on Tuesday night.
Beltré topped the count after a 21-year career with the Dodgers, Mariners, Red Sox, and Rangers. He recorded 3,166 hits - the most ever by a third baseman - and 477 home runs while also having a sterling reputation in the field, winning five Gold Gloves.
Coming up the closest without making it was closer Billy Wagner, who came up five votes shy of the necessary 289 needed for 75 percent. Coming that close, you'd have to imagine that he'll cross the threshold next next year, which is his final chance via the BBWAA ballot.
