With any luck, more than one person on this list of 35 players will be rewarded with the ultimate honor...enshrinement into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. For the final time, here is the list of players (with years on ballot and % of ballots in the 2017 election) being considered:
- Rick Ankiel
- Jason Bay
- Lance Berkman
- Barry Bonds, 7th, 56.4%
- Roger Clemens, 7th, 57.3%
- Freddy Garcia
- Jon Garland
- Travis Hafner
- Roy Halladay
- Todd Helton
- Andruw Jones, 2nd, 7.3%
- Jeff Kent, 6th, 14.5%
- Ted Lilly
- Derek Lowe
- Edgar Martinez, 10th, 70.4%
- Fred McGriff, 10th, 23.2%

- Billy Wagner, 3nd, 10.2%

Until the announcement is made (and I WILL be home when this happens), only the Baseball Hall of Fame, and the accounting firm that tabulated the votes knows who will join Lee Smith and Harold Baines in Cooperstown on Sunday, July 21, 2019.
Good luck to everyone.

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.
