Whitey made it!! ...And without any prompting from me! I'm quite proud of and pleased with my fellow BBF voters.

As long as we're on the topic... May I look forward to a VC ballot for coaches so that people like Hoscheit, et al, can be further discussed?

Kudos for BBF voting Herzog into OMHOF!

Incidentally, who was Johnson's primary third base coach? I'm too lazy too look it up.

Same here, but I'm pretty sure it was Bobby V. It better be, b/c I gave him my vote based on memories of him as the mid 80s 3B coach aggressively waiving those Mets around. At any rate I am almost sure they showed him in the recent SNY show on the '84 season.
