ESPN just said Blyleven got 74.2% and Alomar got 73.7%.

For Bert that was exactly 5 votes short of making it in.

How the hell is Alomar not a 1st ballot hall of famer. He is the greatest 2nd baseman of all time.

They're already projecting ahead to Beckham.

Sure it doesn't change the fact that Alomar not being a first ballot HOF is ridiculous.

I really wish these voters cared.

Very happy to see Dawson finally get in. Alomar not being a first ballot hall of famer is a travesty.

it's pretty disgusting. Good to see Dawson in there, though.

I'm sorry, but Alomar and Bly>Dawson

Without question. I would of gone with Raines as well.

Hell, Tim Raines is a more deserving candidate than Dawson. As is Barry Larkin.

Its sad to see the HOF turn more into a joke each year. Its turning into the Hall of Really Good

I wonder if spitting on the ump didn't keep him off the first ballot

I've got no problem with Dawson. But there's no way Alomar shouldn't of been in this year.

The MLB Hall of Fame is the HOF that the most people care about, yet its the one voted on by the most idiotic douchebags of the bunch...

So for all of the columns you see from baseball writers about how bad the fans are at the all-star ballot, this Hall of Fame vote shows they are just as dumb.

He spit in an umpire's face. I don't agree with it, but his appearance to the media is the reason.

That's a great point. Some of these guys just don't get it. How a writer does not vote for a 12X All-Star, and 10X Gold Glove Award winner is beyond me. I'm ready to see the voting go to the players (peers of the nominees) and let the writers stick to writing.

I agree with that, but I'll also say it's becoming harder and harder to decide who belongs.

 

And next year, they'll have Jeff Bagwell, Larry Walker, and Rafael Palmeiro.

 

All of which probably have the numbers, but I don't trust at all. Obviously Palmeiro was busted, but the other two I don't think were clean, but it'll never be proven.

How does Tim Raines only get 30% of the vote? That is even more ridiculous than Alomar not getting in on the 1st ballot.

See, that wouldn't work, because then deserving players would get in/not have to wait.

I'm not convinced former players would do a good job voting for the HOF.
