I am surprised that John Donaldson does not have more votes.

I'll admit to knowing very little about the stars from the Negro Leagues, but if the stats I read about Donaldson are accurate, it would seem that he would have gotten easily inducted during the special 2006 vote where *many* othe NL players were voted in.
17 new inductees were honored that year. Were they all better than Donaldson? Or at least more "famous"?

Voted Dahlen from this abbreviated list.
I don't understand why Reynolds is even on the ballot. It certainly isn't a math argument that places him there. Reynolds - 25.4 WAR (375th all time among P's), 2492 IP, 109 ERA+ Lopat - 32.1 WAR, 2439 IP, 116 ERA+ Raschi - 16.5 WAR, 1839 IP, 105 ERA+ Heck, we can even leave the exact same rotation: Shawkey - 47 WAR, 2937 IP, 114 ERA+ Stottlemyre - 43.1 WAR, 2661 IP, 112 ERA+ Reynolds is just a bizarre choice. Are they just trying to shove any Yankee pitcher in the hall? Did they just pick him randomly from the 50's rotation? Out of 10 players from 74 years of MLB baseball, 7 of which are taken up by Negro Leaguer's, this is one of the top 3 long-recognized-as-a-major-league-or-whatever-we-will-call-it-now-leagues players not in the Hall? I find it difficult to see how he could be chosen as one of the top 3 via any reasonable metric, only by being a nostalgic Yankees fan.

I agree on Buck and also a write in for Hodges - That one has puzzled me for many years.

Hodges
Gil Hodges is in the second poll I put up. He's there since his career is considered to be during the "Golden Age" of baseball by the Hall of Fame, rather than the pre-1950 time period. Please feel free to vote for him in the other poll!
