This will be one of three second chance round elections this week. What we'll do for the second chance election is a Yes/No vote requiring the greater of 6 or 75% of the votes to induct. The election will be limited to the listed nominees. The elections will only be open for a week--but there will be at least three or four days for discussion and new nominations. You can abstain from an entire ballot (player or contributor), but if you vote in that portion of the ballot, only the guys you expressly vote yes for get credit for a positive vote. The others in that section of the ballot will be considered to have gotten a "no" vote. There will be no limits on how many nominees you can vote for . I will also provide the nomination discussions for the nominees. The deadline for suggesting nominees is twelve hours before the election begins.
In this case, the election will not begin until Saturday, May 19 at 7 am EDT, and will end at 7 am EDT May 26. Nominations close 43 hours before the election begins, or May 17 at noon EDT. Ballots not cast within the stated election time frame will not count.
I'm modifying the time for how long I'll accept nominations. Nominations will close at noon on Thursday rather than 7 pm Friday. Among the reasons for this are situations like yesterday when I'm away, the day before is a real pain in the rump. Another reason is that if I decide to go to requiring seconds for some nominations, I'll need some additional time for those seconds, and this move provides that.
The Giants have the following already inducted:
- Inducted Players (31): Johnny Antonelli, Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonds, Roger Bresnahan, George Burns, Orlando Cepeda, Will Clark, Roger Connor, George Davis, Art Devlin, Larry Doyle, Buck Ewing, Frankie Frisch, Carl Hubbell, Travis Jackson, Tim Keefe, Jeff Kent, Juan Marichal, Christy Mathewson, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Johnny Mize, Mel Ott, Gaylord Perry, Amos Rusie, Bill Terry, Robby Thompson, Mike Tiernan, Mickey Welch, Matt Williams, Ross Youngs

Al Dark is going on both ballots. If you believe he belongs solely as a player vote for him there. If you do, you still may want to cast a yes as a contributor. If you don't think he makes it solely for his play but that the overall contribution merits induction, then vote for him as a contributor. I will not be counting player ballots toward election as a contributor.
