2018 Net54 HOF Ballot

orly57 · #1 01-26-2018, 11:16 PM

26 voted Clemens in the poll, while only 24 voted Bonds. I wonder if those two voters would explain why they would vote for one and not the other. Obviously, use of PED's is the only reason on earth why both of these guys weren't first ballot. Is there some distinction here?

Yes Add Fred McGriff,Jeff Kent, Scott Rolen & Johnny Damon next year, if he had stayed on the list, which he did not ?

PS Great idea Donnie, we should do this every year & I'm up for the NFL HOF votes , also ?

Your question makes perfect sense. To me, both would have been HOF'rs prior to when the alleged PED use started. Therefore, who were the two folks that voted for one, and not the other. That is, assuming the same 24 voted for both. Otherwise, it is even more of a puzzler.

Wow, not even Vlad gets in w/this bunch...

Gotta ask, though - the 7+% of people who voted who don't think Chipper Jones is a HOFer - how would you explain this?

Add my vote for these two as well.

I guess I'm not very lenient because Chipper was my only vote. Rose would be my add in.

Only 85% for Chipper?

C'mon people we are worse than the actual HOF voters we complain about! How does a guy with a career WAR in the top 35 position players of all time only get 85% w/ no real PED suspicion, I think some people have a seriously warped sense of who should get into the HOF. Explain yourselves.
