Just a note: We elected Silver King last election. If you would kindly update your ballot, that would be appreciated.

I fixed it, thanks.

Just as a heads up of the players mentioned that were dropped by JJPM I would vote for them as well given time:

Tommy McCarthy
Dave Orr
Jack Rowe
Will White
Ned Williamson

Orr and Williamson probably would have made this list. This is why I sometimes get peeved with the "well if he didn't get any support back before WWII when people were alive who saw him play ..." types of arguments we see elsewhere.

You might consider not dropping players if they receive no support, at least for now. There are more than a dozen players who have been eliminated (or were never on the ballot) who I'd have voted for over the last guy to make the cut for this ballot.

[Cowtipper]

Weren't most of players dropped in the first 2 elections supposed to be reinstated this year? I ask because it affects my ballot quite a bit. I would definitely have Dave Orr and several others on my ballot.

Yes, I re-added a handful. I'm not going to re-add them all at once, because that would just create the problem we had in the first place...too big a ballot.

These guys:

Mark Baldwin
George Bradley
Tom Burns
Charlie Comiskey
Candy Cummings
Abner Dalrymple
John Denny
Jack Farrell
Bob Ferguson
Silver Flint

[jjpm74]

Of those dropped, I would vote for these players eventually:

Candy Cummings
Jack Farrell
Bob Ferguson
Silver Flint
Dick McBride
Tommy McCarthy
Dave Orr
Jack Rowe
Will White
Ned Williamson

Of the holdovers/newcomers, this would be my ballot:

Bill Hutchinson
Bill Lange
Ed McKean
Bid McPhee
Ed Morris
Billy Nash
Fred Pfeffer
Jack Stivetts
Mike Tiernan
Harry Wright

These are the players who have been dropped who would replace Bill Hutchinson, Ed Morris, Billy Nash, Jack Stivetts and Harry Wright if they are eligible:

Tommy McCarthy
Dave Orr
Jack Rowe
Will White
Ned Williamson

That's what you get for hastily posting the thread without properly proofing it. Don't be like Cowtipper, kids.

(By the way, I do know the Hall of Fame stats and info aren't updated...I just wanted to get this thread going before doing those. They take a surprisingly long time to do).

Bill Hutchinson is also missing from this year's ballot, but he wasn't eliminated last year.

would have voted for : Bug Holliday, maybe Jack Stivetts

guys I thought might were good were actually one season and usually weak season wonders 1890 or 1891 AA like Baldwin, Bradley and McMahon. Others were familiar but really from longevity rather like Bierbauer and John (sic - s/b Jerry) Denny. the
