MLB Twitter reacts to analyst Jon Morosi's 2023 HOF ballot: "Now THIS is how a HOF ballot should look" "Bar gets lower every year"

The New Year festivities continue to rain on in MLB as the Baseball Writers' Association of America Hall of Fame election is just around the corner.

The highly anticipated event has lifted spirits in the offseason-ridden MLB, and fans and pundits alike cannot quell their excitement.

They’ve taken to various forms of social media to speculate who they think is on their way to Cooperstown.

Jon Morosi, an MLB Network broadcaster, spilled the beans on Twitter on who he thought deserved a seat at the 2023 HOF, much to the disgust of baseball fans on Twitter. The list included Carlos Beltran, Mark Buehrle, Todd Helton, Torii Hunter, Andruw Jones, Jeff Kent, Scott Rolen, Jimmy Rollins, Gary Sheffield, and Billy Wagner.

While Carlos Beltran will be making his ballot debut this year, Andruw Jones, Gary Sheffield, Jeff Kent, Jimmy Rollins, Mark Buehrle, and Torii Hunter are all returnees from last year.

While the reactions were mixed, the majority of the public didn't agree with Morosi's selection.

A fan criticized MLB and Morosi for dropping the HOF ballot bar lower every year.

Another fan complimented Morosi's ballot and said it was perfect in every sense.

The 2023 MLB Hall of Fame

The Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) will vote by mail to select from a ballot of recently retired players to deliberate who will make it into the prestigious baseball HOF.

The results will be announced on Jan. 24 live from Cooperstown on MLB Network at 6 p.m. ET.

All electees will be inducted during Hall of Fame Weekend on Sunday, July 23, at 1:30 p.m. on the grounds of the Clark Sports Center in Cooperstown.

With a total of 28 players in the ballot, it will be very interesting to see who reaches the helm.
