Now that the MLB Hall of Fame 2020 inductees have been announced, let's take a look at who our Cubs DNA staffers would've elected had we been the ones voting! Since 75% is needed for entry, five out of six of our Cubs DNA writers will have to select a candidate for entry into the hall of fame.
The Candidates:
Bobby Abreu:
Josh Beckett:
Heath Bell:
Barry Bonds: Pronk, Steve
Eric Chávez:
Roger Clemens: Pronk, Steve, AssMatt
Adam Dunn:
Chone Figgins:
Rafael Furcal:
Jason Giambi:
Todd Helton:
Raúl Ibañez:
Derek Jeter: Pronk, Staci, Brooke, Steve, Tina, AssMatt
Andruw Jones:
Jeff Kent:
Paul Konerko:
Cliff Lee:
Carlos Peña:
Brad Penny:
Andy Pettitte:
J.J. Putz:

Gary Sheffield: Pronk, AssMatt
Alfonso Soriano:
Sammy Sosa: Pronk, AssMatt
José Valverde:

Billy Wagner: AssMatt
Larry Walker: Staci, Brooke, Steve, Tina, AssMatt
As fate would have it, our writers were pretty consistent with what the BBWAA came up with and would've had the same outcome. So, a hearty congratulations to Derek Jeter and Larry Walker! You are also in our 2020 Cubs DNA Hall Of Fame!
