The National Baseball Hall of Fame has announced this year’s Contemporary Baseball ERA Player Ballot, and it is a particularly interesting one for Mets fans.

Former team-members Carlos Delgado, Jeff Kent and Gary Sheffield are among the eight big leaguers who will be voted on in December.

Delgado played his final four seasons in Queens, where he hit over 100 home runs and was a staple at first base for the end-of-the-aughts Mets. In his illustrious career Delgado hit 473 home runs with an OPS of .929.

The next-highest non-HOF player on the home runs list is Sheffield with 509. Sheffield also finished his career in Queens, and is the only player ever to hit his 500th home run as a Met.

Unlike Delgado and Sheffield, Kent was in Queens at a much younger age. He played for the Mets from 1992-96, during his age 24-28 seasons. The Mets traded Kent to Cleveland and wound up regretting it, after he found his best form in San Francisco, which included an MVP season in 2000.

Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens also made it onto the ballot, making this another year in which the two most promiment players with PED-ties will be able to make it to the HOF.

The other three players on the ballot are Don Mattingly, Dale Murphy and Fernando Valenzuela.

The contempory baseball era player ballot is one of the three offshoots of what was formerly known as simply the “veterans committee.” This ballot honors players who “made their greatest impact on the game since 1980.” Every three years the Era Committees cycle between players in that era, the “classic” baseball era, which involves those who were in baseball prior to 1980, including Negro leaguers and black players who preceeded the Negro leagues, and then contemporay managers, executives and umpires.

Just like the BBWAA selections, 75 percent of the vote is needed for enshrinement. Unlike the hundreds of voters in the BBWAA, the contemporary baseball era committee only has 16 members, made up of executives, veteran media members and living HOFers.

The last time the contemporary ballot was voted upon in 2022, Fred McGriff was the sole player elected.
