"Just like the Toronto Blue Jays getting so very close to winning the World Series in 2025, one of the team's legendary figures also got agonizingly close to immortality on Sunday (Dec. 7). Carlos Delgado was just three votes shy of earning his way into the Hall of Fame. The long-time Blue Jays' first baseman received 56.3% of the votes to fall just three votes shy of getting a plaque in Cooperstown, but he did better than a former New York Yankees star."
"It really hasn't been a good couple of months for the Yankees and their fans. First they lose the AL East division title to the Blue Jays, despite finishing the year with the exact same record. While the Yankees did make it past their arch nemesis in the Boston Red Sox in the Wild Card series, they couldn't advance past Toronto. The Blue Jays came into that ALDS searching for their first playoff win in almost a decade."
Carlos Delgado received 56.3% of the Hall of Fame votes and fell three votes short of election to Cooperstown. The Contemporary Baseball Era Players Committee's vote also failed to elect Don Mattingly. The Toronto Blue Jays won the 2025 ALDS over the New York Yankees in four games, clinching the series with a win at Yankee Stadium. The Blue Jays had not recorded a playoff win since the 2016 ALCS and had previously gone 0-6 in three playoff appearances since then. The Yankees lost the AL East division to Toronto despite finishing with the same record. George Springer moved past Derek Jeter and Bernie Williams with 23 career playoff home runs.
