    Sorry about that. Well, Rizzuto still may be elected without my vote... but if he isn't, he'll be on my short list. So will Red Schoendienst who just vaulted up my list of managers.

    Not a big deal at this point--but I felt the need for a reminder when as esteemed a voter as you isn't clear on the point.

    Some minds are like concrete--thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.

    We had 12 player ballots and got by with nine contributor ballots because Herzog couldn't be bested with only one more ballot. I hope Paul Wendt returns or we find another contributor ballot soon, or that aspect of the project will almost surely shut down.

    Anyway, we are inducting Whitey Herzog as a contributor and Bert Blyleven, Goose Gossage and Dave Winfield as players. The complete official results follow, players first:

    Code:
    Player………………..	votes	pts
    Blyleven, Bert	12	132
    Winfield, Dave	12	119
    Gossage, Goose	10	77
    Brown, Willard	8	54
    Wynn, Jimmy	8	54
    Kelley , Joe	8	53
    Joss , Addie	6	51
    Roush , Edd 	6	44
    Keller , C	5	31
    Brock, Lou	4	27
    Rixey , Eppa	4	26
    Grimes , B	3	24
    Evans, Dwight	3	22
    Reuschel, Rick	3	18
    Cepeda, Perucho	5	17
    Beckley , Jake	3	16
    Evans, Darrell	3	15
