Tuesday's Baseball Hall of Fame announcement may have a special feel in New York.
Not only is CC Sabathia on track to easily become the latest Yankee to be drafted into Cooperstown, but as of Monday afternoon, former Mets members Carlos Beltran and Billy Wagner are also on track to get there, according to poll tracker Ryan Thibodeaux ( @NotMrTibbs on Bluesky .
Ichiro Suzuki, who spent more than two seasons in the Bronx, is a lock to be elected, and also has a chance to join Mariano Rivera as the only players voted unanimously.
The results will be announced by the Baseball Writers Association of America on Tuesday.
If Sabatia and Beltran join, it could be the first time that players identified as both Yankees and Mets will be honored on their Hall of Fame plaques in the same year.
The players and Hall jointly decide which team logo will be depicted on the inductee's plaque.
Sabathia, who was named on 93.6 percent of the ballots announced as of Monday afternoon, has said since at least 2019 that he intends to enter the Hall in a Yankees hat.
Most indications are that Beltran will join the Met if elected. Beltran was at 80.3 percent as of Monday.
Players must be named on 75 percent of the ballots for recognition, although the final vote often falls short of the public vote total. This will be a jump for Beltran, in his third year on the ballot, after receiving 57.1 percent a year ago.
As The Post's Mike Vaccaro recently pointed out, despite Beltran's rocky history in Queens — which includes Beltran being fired as manager before he even arrived at spring training due to revelations about his role in the Astros' sign-stealing scandal — the player's best seasons with the Mets came from 2005 until mid-2011, when he was traded to the San Francisco Giants.
Beltran appeared in roughly the same number of games with the Mets (839) and Royals (795), but pitched better in Queens (129 OPS-plus with Mets; 111 with Royals).
The same goes for Sabatia, who came with Cleveland — where he won the only Cy Young Award of his career — but had most of his success with the Yankees.
Sabathia racked up 134 of his 251 career wins during 11 seasons with the Yankees and led them to their last World Series title in 2009.
Wagner spent four of his 16 MLB years with the Mets, instead of nine as an Astro. Wagner, in his 10th and final year in the writers' poll, received 84.6 percent on Monday after falling a year ago to 73.8 percent.
“There's a lot riding on this,” Wagner told The Post's Mike Puma. “For me, that's a key element for small-town kids who have had the opportunity and taken advantage of it, to look at it and say it's possible.”
Other notable names on the ballot with local ties include Andy Pettit (with 33 percent on the ballot in his seventh year of eligibility after getting 13.5 percent last year), Alex Rodriguez (with 41 percent in his fourth year after 34.8 percent last year) and David Wright (up 11.2 percent in his second year after 6.2 percent last year), and Francisco Rodriguez (up 8 percent on Monday).
Andrew Jones, who played the final two years of his career with the Yankees, was at 72.3 percent as of Monday after finishing at 61.6 percent last year.
Manny Ramirez received 36.7 percent. Next year will be his 10th and final year on the ballot.
