    Let the voting begin! For anyone who has not participated before, please read the rules posted here

    The Rules

    Those players receiving only one ballot in an election may go on to a list from which voters may only vote for a limited number of such candidates. For more details on this rule, please follow the above link to the Rules. For this election, you may not select more than three (3) from this list:

    Code:
    Bond, Tommy**
    Bottomley, Jim*
    Bridges, Tommy
    Canseco, Jose**
    Cash, Norm**

    For more details on this rule, please consult the link to the Rules above, and to this post: Limited Selection List

    Also, please note that now ballots as short as zero (0) names are now permitted. However, if a voter intends to cast a ballot naming no one, this must be clearly communicated or the ballot will not count.

    Voting in this cycle will end at 11:59:59 pm Eastern Time, March 14, 2008.

    Other information of note is who is in the BBF HOF.

    Last month's results are posted. You are requested to pay particular attention to those individuals receiving 50% or more of the vote last election, as they are the most likely candidates to be elected this month. In fact, I have specific posts on players receiving 50% or more of last month's vote:

        I'm only carrying 14 names this time around as these are the guys I feel strongest about. The only player I added to the mix is Bernie Williams as I did not know previously that he was eligible yet. If a player not on my list starts gaining momentum, I may add him later. I'm still hoping that 1 person who might be on the fence about Roger Bresnahan might add his name to their ballot to get him elected as the previous election was the second consecutive election he missed election by 1 vote.

        Jake Beckley
        Roger Bresnahan
        Cupid Childs
        Jack Glasscock
        Lefty Gomez
        Keith Hernandez
        Addie Joss
        Rabbit Maranville
        Thurman Munson
        Johnny Pesky
        Phil Rizzuto
        Vern Stephens
        Ezra Sutton
        Bernie Williams

                Friday night: "I have added Bonds, Burns, and Trouppe to my ballot since three weeks ago, and added none of the whiz shortstops (Bancroft, Maranville, Concepcion). Frankly, that's a spur of the moment decision to get a ballot in and make it a 25 rather than a 22."

                Trouppe has six votes now, against three for Bonds and two for Burns, so he makes this preliminary ballot with 21 names. I expect to vote for 25 and I will alert amendments using boldface.
                add -04-17: Bobby Bonds, Rabbit Maranville (now 23 votes)
                add -04-23: Dave Bancroft, Keith Hernandez (now 25 votes)
