Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Results from our Hall of Fame Polls

I figured it was time to tally up our Hall of Fame polls. If we were the BBWAA, we would have put 6 players into the Hall. I doubt the writers will do that, but I do like the guys we voted in. Players with more than 5% of the writer's vote get to stay on the ballot another year, my guess is Appier won't get 5% of the real vote; I don't know how he did in our vote. We didn't do polls for Eric Karros, Ray Lankford, Shane Reynolds, David Segui and Todd Zeile. I wouldn't imagine any of them would get 5%. 

Would make the Hall:

Roberto Alomar: 91%

Tim Raines: 89%

Andre Dawson: 83%

Bert Blyleven: 82%

Barry Larkin: 80%

Lee Smith: 77%

Would stay on the Ballot:

Fred McGriff: 72%

Edgar Martinez: 69%

Jack Morris: 67%

Don Mattingly: 54%

Alan Trammell: 50%

Mark McGwire: 48%

Dave Parker: 44%

Dale Murphy: 37%

Harold Baines: 31%

Pat Hentgen: 21%

Andres Galarraga: 16%

Kevin Appier: 8%

Robin Ventura: 8%

Would be removed from the ballot:

Ellis Burks: 2%

Mike Jackson: 1%

Hentgen with 21%!

A direct byproduct of this website’s home team, I presume.

The rest of those numbers look about right to me though.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never understood the “year to year” voting. A retired player should either be good enough for the HoF, or not, no? What changes from year to year (except active players and steroid allegations?!?!?)

There are some 'writers' that refuse to vote for a guy the first year....

figuring that getting voted in the first time is a special honor. And some won’t vote for the most obvious one because they don’t want anyone getting in unanimously.

These are the same guys that look upon bloggers with contempt.

Robbie is a lock. It will be a travesty if he didn’t get in his first year. The voters might hold his umpire incident against him.

HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THEM, I PRESS DOWN MAH GUNS!
