Well folks, the ballots are in, the votes are tallied, and the legends are forever! As the curtain falls on another incredible season — one that saw the New York Mets make history with their third straight championship — the spotlight now shifts to those who defined an era.
Five greats, five first-ballot immortals — it’s time to meet your 1923 Hall of Fame Class!
�� 2B Jonathan “Just Too Good” Huskey — 95.7% (1st year)
This guy was smoother than jazz on a Sunday afternoon. Huskey turned double plays faster than you could say “6-4-3,” and oh, could he hit! Whether it was a clutch single in July or a game-breaking double in October, Huskey was a manager’s dream. Just too good? You betcha.
�� CF Caleb “The Showstopper” Carpenter — 95.3% (1st year)
When Carpenter stepped to the plate, you didn’t blink — because if you did, the ball was already gone! Five tools? Nah, this guy brought six. The flair, the glove, the cannon arm, and that light-tower power. Carpenter didn’t just play center field — he commanded it.
�� CL Caleb “Lights Out” Myslinski — 86.3% (1st year)
Bottom of the ninth, two outs, crowd on its feet — enter Myslinski, and cue the lights. Game over. This closer turned leads into locks, seasons into celebrations, and hitters into highlight reel victims. One of the most feared finishers of his time.
�� SS Vo “No-Go” Pham — 83.5% (1st year)
If you hit it anywhere near shortstop, you might as well start walking back to the dugout. Pham’s glove was Velcro with style — slick, smooth, and steady. And when the bat came alive, pitchers learned that “Vo Pham” meant no fam mercy.
�� LF Jimmy “The Real Deal” Shively — 79.1% (1st year)
Shively didn’t need hype — his bat did the talking. Line drives, home runs, clutch hits, you name it. Always cool under pressure, always in the middle of the action. They called him “The Real Deal,” and now he’s got the plaque to prove it.
That’s five first-ballot legends heading to Cooperstown — a class for the ages! ��
From the power of Shively, to the precision of Pham, to the poise of Myslinski — this isn’t just a Hall of Fame class… it’s a highlight reel that never ends.
As for the rest? Matt Degree came close at 57.2%, Mark Makepeace keeps hanging tough in his seventh year, and the rest of the field will have to wait for that golden call.
But for these five? Their time is now.
Their stories are written in the record books — and their names? Etched in bronze forever.
Huskey, Carpenter, Myslinski, Pham, and Shively — welcome to the Hall of Fame!
Because when it comes to baseball greatness…
THESE FIVE JUST WENT… ALL. THE. WAY. ⚾��
