Single Ballot BBF Hall of Fame

[DJC]

Not to sound bitter, but I just noticed that this thread is 2.5 years old and has over 17,000 views, and yet only 23 people besides me have submitted ballots. Is the problem that coming up with a personal Hall is too much effort? That would be understandable, I suppose, but I would think that a lot more members of this site than 23 have a good idea of who they think belongs in the Hall and who doesn't.

[Cowtipper]

I've moved all my eligible "Future Contenders" to my main list. I'm also in the process of shuffling my list as well, so I'll post an update when I'm done with that.

[Cowtipper]

I removed the following from my main list:

Babe Adams
Wally Berger
Ken Boyer
Cesar Cedeno
Wilbur Cooper
Bob Elliott
Mark Grace
Heinie Groh
Tommy John
Charley Jones
Sparky Lyle
Deacon McGuire
Minnie Minoso
Dale Murphy
Lip Pike
Del Pratt
Urban Shocker
Reggie Smith
Rusty Staub
Ezra Sutton
Mickey Vernon
Dixie Walker

I removed Scott Rolen from my Future Contenders list. I added Miguel Cabrera, Andy Pettitte and Michael Young to my Future Contenders list.

Think about it more from a statistical standpoint. Of the 23 who have submitted personal HOFs, each have viewed this thread 100X or more. That is 2300-3000 of the views right there. We also have about 5000 casual users/web traffic/bots/crawlers who might click, look at one thing for a second and move on. That brings us to 7300 views. There are also about 1000 daily viewers who look at the new replies rather than individual forums and briefly click and move on. That brings the number to 17000 views.

OK, thanks! Will update the big list soon.

I guess that makes sense. I didn't know that views from non-members (either human or bot) were being counted. Mostly I'm just griping.

100 times or more? Wow.

Thanks for participating, but to clarify, you're indicating who you would add and remove from the current Single Ballot HOF here, right?

[Cougar]

Added Al Reach and Samuel Breadon to the Owners section of my additions.

[jjpm74]

Added:

Art Fletcher (SS), Danny Murtaugh (managers), Jacob Ruppert (owners/execs/pioneers)

Removed:

Dick Howser

[John Shoemaker]

I deleted Ken Boyer, Johnny Evers, and George Gore from my personal hall of fame.

I added Miguel Cabrera, Trevor Hoffman, and Ryan Howard to Future Hall of Famers.

[Toledo Inquisition]

DJC, I am one of the many who have viewed this thread and not contributed. I originally had my own thread where I could discuss each and every borderline candidate, but to be honest, I just haven't had the time to type out discussions for each and every player that is marginal. I do have my own thoughts on who should be/shouldn't be in, so I should be able to come up with my own comprehensive list (although it might take a few weeks). I'll be person number 25.

Got it. I've had internet problems at home due to Sandy, but I'll update the big list next chance I get.

Thanks! No rush. And your ballot is always editable in case you change your mind.

Yes (sorry for extremely late response, I've been out from Sandy)

[DJC]

Yes (sorry for extremely late response, I've been out from Sandy)

No problem. Believe me, I sympathize.

[DJC]

Vote totals have been updated once more. The only change is that Keith Hernandez fell below the 75% line and out of the Hall.

Any more takers?

[John Shoemaker]

I added 4 players to my personal Hall of Fame:

Jack Morris
Billy Pierce
Bret Saberhagen
Lee Smith

[Cougar]

Summary of changes:

Additions to HOF from class of 2007:

Biggio, Bonds, Clemens, Finley, Lofton, Piazza, Schilling, Sosa, Wells

Addition from class of 2006 (relocated to extant Hall roster): Larkin.

Added to future contenders: Johnny Damon, Johan Santana (both should have probably been there already, but I tend to hold off on active players).

More changes:

Moved White, O'Day, and Ruppert to extant Hall roster.

Added Birdie Tebbetts (Catcher/contributor) and Julio Franco (shortstop) to proposed additions.

[Toledo Inquisition]

Here are my Hall of Famers and non-Hall of Famers. Note these are only the one enshrined in the actual HOF - I still have to add players I want in who currently aren't in.

Hooray! A new ballot! Thanks, Savoy. John and Cougar, your changes will be in the next update. Toledo -- many thanks for the ballot, but if you don't mind I'm going to hold off on adding it to the main list until you get to the non-HOFers. No rush. It's just easier for me to tabulate the results that way.

P.S. - Matthew C - can you update the most recent hall of fame eligibles - I like to compare my choices to yours.

Mine has changed a lot since I did it a few years ago. I might try to get around to posting an update here soon.

Mine has changed a lot since I did it a few years ago. I might try to get around to posting an update here soon.

I'd be much obliged if you would.

[DJC]

Thanks for the update, Jar of Flies.

I tabulated the votes again. Unusually, no change to the Hall of Fame here. Six contributors dropped out of the Hall of Honor: Happy Chandler, Bucky Harris, John Heydler, Alex Pompez, Lou Piniella, and Joe Torre.

More votes for the vote god!

[Jar of Flies]

Overlooked joe torre and alex pompez on the contributors, please add
