The 2015 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot includes 34 names.
Seventeen are making their first appearance on the ballot, and players need 75 percent of ballots cast to be elected into the hall. The results will be announced Jan. 6 at 2 p.m.
The Globe staff has five eligible voters — Peter Abraham, Nick Cafardo, Bob Hohler, Bob Ryan, and Dan Shaughnessy — and three of the 13 players who received votes from the group were unanimous.
Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, and John Smoltz were unanimous.
