You're allowed to vote for 12 players. I added George Gore and Paul Hines to your ballot on my spreadsheet--if you have any objections, let me know.

I fixed it, thanks!

I edited my post to remove Harry Wright since we are only considering playing careers.

You do have room. From the OP:

You MUST vote for 12 players in each election.

[Cowtipper]

For the time being, I would suggest considering only their playing careers as I am mulling doing contributor elections down the line.

Charlie Bennett
George Gore
Paul Hines - I think seriously underrated here
Charley Jones
Cal McVey
Tony Mullane
Dickey Pearce
Lip Pike
Hardy Richardson
Harry Stovey
Ezra Sutton
Mickey Welch

sure keep them on the ballot
Jim McCormick
Levi Meyerle

--I had 17 guys after my first cut, although I don't neccessarily support that many. That was just how many I thought deserved consideration on a big hall ballot.

two more: Bond, Corcoran. I presumed we are in 1901 when voting on Mack. The rules refer to players yet I have been voting on Harry Wright as contributor and will apply than to Hanlon if he sticks around-am I misreading the rules.

I would like more clarification on this as well as I would vote for Hanlon, Mack, and H. Wright if we are looking at their entire careers.

Edit: per post #13 we are to consider playing careers so Harry Wright is off - Bond is in. Pearce is on the next two list.

A chart or separate post that links all previous elections would be very helpful for future elections.
