The Pittsburgh Pirates added three more prominent members to the team Hall of Fame on Saturday at PNC Park.

In its third-annual class, Barry Bonds, Jim Leyland and Manny Sanguillen were the three inductees for 2024, pushing the total number of Pirates’ Hall of Famers up to 26.

Bonds, of course, is one of the greatest players in MLB history and spent the first seven years of his major-league career in Pittsburgh. Leyland managed the Pirates for 11 seasons and won three-straight division titles from 1990-92. Sanguillen won two World Series with the Pirates and has been a staple around the ballpark in his retirement.

After the latest round of inductions, who should be in the 2025 class? Several names come to mind.
