It’s that time of year when baseball teams try to make a big splash by adding some high-profile talent to their lineups, and the National Baseball Hall of Fame is no exception, with a trio of heavy hitters—Adrián Beltré, Todd Helton and Joe Mauer—joining the storied Cooperstown team.
Beltré, Helton and Mauer were elected to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on Jan. 23. Beltré and Mauer were on the ballot for the first time. It was Helton’s sixth year of eligibility.
Combined, the trio won 13 Silver Slugger Awards, and their fielding wasn’t too shabby either. All together, they have 11 Gold Gloves.
While Beltré played with four different teams in his 21-year career (1998–2018), both Helton and Mauer stayed with the same clubs
