A total of 46 candidates appear on the ballot for induction to the Hall of Fame of the Venezuelan Baseball, in which the Baseball Museum, located in Valencia (Car) opened its voting process and will run until next Monday, August 15.
There are several names of former Venezuelan baseball players, except for the presence of Tom Evans, considered one of the best imports in the history of Venezuelan baseball, who will seek immortality in this edition and who are part of a difficult choice for the journalists who are part of its voting members.
Melvin Mora, once a star of the Navegantes del Magallanes, is one of the figures that adorn this class of 2022. His fierce offensive shown in the mid-90s and that led the "Nave Turca" to win title against Leones del Caracas , give him merits to join the Temple of the Immortals.
