Former Mets on HOF Ballot

The 2016 Major League Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot officially came out yesterday and there are several good names on the list, including many for the first time.

Ken Griffey Jr. is a lock. Like, he could almost challenge the "no player has ever been unanimously selected on the first ballot."

The Yankees and Mets have multiple former players on the ballot, but no players that will have any chance of going in as a Yankee or a Met. The Mets come first, Yankees ballot to follow:

Former Mets:

1. Mike Piazza: Arguably the greatest hitting catcher of all-time, Piazza is on the ballot for the fourth time. The 16-year vet was a career .308 hitter.

2. Jeff Kent: He spent part of five seasons in New York before blossoming with the Giants. He was a career .290 hitter. He had 377 career homers.

3. Gary Sheffield: He only spent his last season in Queens (2009), but he did collect his 500th career homer there.

4. Mike Hampton: Part of the Mets rotation that got to the 2000 World Series, Hampton spent only that one season in New York.

5. Luis Castillo: This has to be a joke to Mets fans. Often the recipient of criticism, he spent four years in New York.

6. Billy Wagner: A human heart attack at the closer position, he spent parts of four years in New York. He had 422 career saves.
