This is the first time since 2020 when Derek Jeter and Larry Walker were chosen that a BBWAA Hall-of-Fame vote has resulted in more than one inductee.
Playing from 1998-2008 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox, and Texas Rangers, Beltre amassed 3,166 hits (18th in MLB history) and 477 home runs, becoming the only third baseman in MLB history to surpass both the 3,000-hit and 450-home-run plateau.
He is joined by another first-year inductee in Mauer, who was one of the finest catchers of his generation during his time with the Minnesota Twins from 2004-2018. He is the only catcher in MLB history to win three batting titles, which he did in 2006, 2008, and 2009.
