Big things are happening in the baseball world today. Let's dive in! First up, the Hall of Fame ballot results are coming out later today. This is a big deal because it decides who gets into the baseball Hall of Fame. Jeff Kent is already in, but the spotlight is on Cole Hamels and Manny Ramirez. Hamels, a great left-handed pitcher, won't make it this time. Ramirez, known for his hitting, is in his last year on the ballot and probably won't get in because of past issues with performance-enhancing drugs. Right now, it looks like Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones might get in, but we'll have to wait and see.
Next, the Tampa Bay Rays are making moves. They want a new stadium, and today, there's a vote on a plan to build one near Hillsborough College. This is just the first step, but it's a big one. The Rays have been playing in Tropicana Field for a long time, and this could be the start of a move to a new home. Lastly, the Philadelphia Phillies are having a media day. This is where they talk to the press and give updates. It's not as exciting as the other news, but it's still part of the baseball world. So, that's what's happening today in baseball. It's all about the Hall of Fame, new stadiums, and team updates.
