MLB Network will provide a live telecast of the results of the 2015
National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot on Tuesday, January 6 at 2:00 p.m. ET. Red Sox great
Pedro Martinez is expected to be enshrined on the first ballot in his first year of eligibility. Said Hall of Fame broadcaster
Peter Gammons of Martinez:
"[Hall of Famer] Bobby Cox once made the observation that he’s the only pitcher [he’s] ever seen that the home crowd never goes to concession [stands] when the opposing team is at the plate because they don’t want to miss anything." Also likely to be elected are
Randy Johnson and
John Smoltz—who played briefly for
The Carmine Hose in 2009.
