Won't argue with you about Maddux and Pedro, but I'd definitely add Randy Johnson to that. When he was at his peak he was as nasty as I've ever seen.

 

If Jeter is the first 100% I think I would literally vomit.

 

Definitely won't disagree with you on that, I just think Pedro and Maddux were above him even.

Here's a guy who needs to be deleted from all future votes. He only voted for Jack Morris. Eliminating everyone from the steroid era because he doesn't know who did and who didn't. How does he know no one from the non steroid eras didn't use a PED?

FWIW, I heard an interview with him and he said that he'll probably abstain for the foreseeable future in reaction the the vitriol he has received lol.

If that's what he really said then that's the biggest chickens*** answer I've ever heard. He's already planning on not voting for anybody for the next 5+ years. Now he is just using fan reaction as his excuse for doing so.

If he doesn't vote at all, aka not turn in a ballot, he doesn't hurt anyone, as his ballot isn't tallied in the percentages. Turning in a blank ballot hurts everyone involved.

Basically, Frank needs to be on 2 out of 3 of the unknown ballots.

 

Until Jeff Idelson says the Hall welcomes 3 new players (or 4), I'm not 100% confident.

Especially considering the ones who don't have their ballots known generally are older. They are more likely to be on board with holding guys out a year, being DH-biased....

 

But it is looking pretty likely.

How long before the 2pm announcement do they start calling the players?

 

I don't know, but that's why I looked up Frank's son's Twitter to see if he gives up anything.

 

He may be getting the call right about now.

didn't Joe Cowley have his BBWAA credentials revoked?

I think the Chicago chapter suspended them for a year or so because he wasn't taking the MVP voting seriously. Apparently he thought it would be cute to screw around, bring some attention to himself (shocking considering he is Joe Cowley) and it wound up messing with the end result.

I'm so nervous. I know it's looking good but it's the older voters I worry about. C'mon, do something right.

 

I hope the only questions are:

 

Will Biggio sneak in?

 

Will Palmeiro and Sosa fall off the ballot?

The 2014 HOF Ballot Collecting Gizmo!

 

Updated: Jan.8 - 1:35 ~ 207 Full Ballots ~ (36.4%* of vote ~ based on last year) (*new pct. record!)

 

99.5 - Maddux

95.7 - Glavine

If Frank doesn't make it, the Gizmo will go the way of the Edsel.
