There are 15 new candidates for the Hall of Fame in 2010. Among the new names on the ballot are Roberto Alomar, Barry Larkin, Edgar Martinez and Fred McGriff. It will be interesting who receives what percentage of the votes this year as the stigma of steroids is starting to play an ever increasing role in the vote. There are 26 candidates in total, three more than last year, when Rickey Henderson was elected in his first appearance and Jim Rice made it on his 15th and final try.
