To get in this year, a player had to appear on 430 ballots. The players whose names are italicized will appear on next year's ballot, having surpassed the five percent rule to stay on (30 votes).
According to the Baseball Hall of Fame website, 573 ballots were cast. Nine of the ballots returned were left BLANK!!!

I love comments. Please leave comments!!! (Ego, hush). Just keep your words clean (I show my kids this stuff), and the comment will be accepted.
If you must leave a comment anonymously, that's fine too. Although I wish you wouldn't. I'd like to get to know the people who actually read this humble little blog.
Thank you very much.

I am so sick of the guys with the blank ballots. It was a fine statement to make ONCE as a protest, but now they need to eliminate them as future voters.
ReplyDeleteI think a blank ballot is entirely appropriate, if you don't think there are any worthwhile candidates. I don't think I would have voted for any of these guys... I consider Larkin to be a marginal HOFer.
