[Freakshow]

For the 10th consecutive election, we elected at least one player who was not on my ballot. Negro and Japanese leaguers continue to be well-represented in the BBFHOF, IMHO, so I look for other constituencies to support. Six secondbasemen now inhabit my ballot.

4 Averill-CF
1 Barnes-2B*
8 Boudreau-SS
6 Boyer K-3B*
5 Doerr-2B
6 Drysdale D-P
5 Evans Da.-3B*
4 Faber-P
2 Ferrell W-P*
2 Gordon-2B*
4 Gore-CF*
14 Grich-2B*
1 Hack-3B*
3 Lemon-P
8 Lyons T-P
4 McPhee-2B
7 Murphy D-CF*
1 Rixey-P
2 Ruffing-P
8 Slaughter-RF
1 Stovey-LF*
11 Sutton D-P
4 Wallace-SS
11 Whitaker-2B*
11 Wright Geo-SS
