So we're only seeing a tiny percentage. I wouldn't get excited. The ballots we're seeing are from the newer generation of writers that use Twitter and such, and those aren't the ones to be worried about. It's the old guys that aren't going to vote for him.

True, but it also becomes more and more significant as you get a larger number of ballots tallied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. It's those people that won't even vote for Greg Maddux because of "first ballot, blah blah blah". Any voter who doesn't vote for Maddux should be drug into the street and shot, so that his vote can be taken away from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Morning update: 80 votes in, Frank Thomas has been on 87.5% of ballots, or 70 votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) I'm surprised the Hall allows votes to be published before the announcement, and especially before the ballots have be turned in. Suppose a voter wants to wait until the last minute (today) and make their decision based on percentages already known. That doesn't seem right. Plus, why take the suspense out of it for announcement day? We're going to know before they open the envelope unless the percentage is right around 75%. But I do like that Frank is probably getting in this year. Edited December 31, 2013 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Good to see Big Frank getting the votes, hopefully it stays that way. Frank, Maddux and Glavin should be locks for the HOF IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they'll never change to "more objevtive standards" -- they don't really care who gets in, just that there remains interest in the whole process.

They don't gain anything if nobody gets in like last year. Their goal should be to get people to Cooperstown, NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjm676 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 What % is needed to remain on the ballot, 5%? If so, Palmeiro and Sosa could be saying bye bye this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasttriptotulsa Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I'd really like to see Frank, Maddux, Glavine, Biggio and Piazza all get in this year. Next year can be Pedro and Johnson. In 2016 the only sure fire HOFer is Griffey. That will really help clear the ballot and open the door for the next level guys like Mussina, Bagwell and Rock Raines. I think it is absolutely a joke that Rock Raines is not yet in the HOF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't retire until 2002 so his last eligible year would be 2022. I almost guarantee he'll make it eventually, I'd just rather it be sooner than later.
