2019 Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot

Ankiel is trying a comeback. Has anybody been on the ballot then removed for making another MLB appearance?

 

Jose Rijo was on it for the 2001 class after not playing since 1995, didn't get enough votes to stay, came back for 2001 and 2002 seasons and was on again in 2008.

 

Dave Stieb?

 

Ankiel is trying to come back as a pitcher. Recently had some sort of surgery.

 

Or? Did you see the AL ROY voting?

 

Barry Bonds
Roger Clemens
Roy Halladay
Todd Helton
Edgar Martinez
Mike Mussina
Mariano Rivera
Larry Walker

 

Didn't take long -- Garry Brown gives a vote to Miguel Tejada

 

Ankiel's comeback delayed by elbow surgery, but Cardinals plan to have offer waiting

 

Barry Bonds
Roger Clemens
Roy Halladay
Todd Helton
Edgar Martinez
Mike Mussina
Mariano Rivera
Larry Walker
Manny Ramirez
Gary Sheffield

I can't believe some of these guys are already eligible for induction. Time flies.

 

Anthony Rieber gives us the first Pettitte but no Halladay vote, and bonus is he had a spot to vote for him

 

Right from his own article about his ballot:

Andy Pettitte played 18 MLB seasons, splitting time between the Yankees and the Astros. He was 256-153 with a 3.85 ERA, 1.351 WHIP and 2,448 strikeouts during the regular season. A five-time World Series champion and the 2001 ALCS MVP, the crafty lefthander was 19-11 with a 3.81 WRA, 1.305 WHIP and 183 strikeouts in 44 postseason appearances. He made three All-Star teams and finished in the top six in Cy Young voting five times, including a second-place showing in 1996, when he won 21 games for the Yankees. However, Pettitte admitted in 2007 that he used HGH in 2002 in an attempt to come back from an elbow injury.
​

Nice career, but those highlights are not HOF-worthy.
