Editor’s Note: We here at Rox Pile have all decided to make our own hypothetical Hall of Fame ballots. Yesterday, we started with editor/co-expert Noah Yingling’s hypothetical Hall of Fame ballot. He decided on a few players that would may not be the first ones you’d think of but after some research, he said that he would put them in there in a strategic move to prevent the player(s) from dropping off the ballot due to the five percent rule, in which if any player receives less than five percent of the vote on the ballot, that player is dropped from future consideration on the ballot.
Today, we feature the hypothetical ballot of Brady Vernon, one of our contributors here at Rox Pile, in our second installment in our Hall of Fame ballot series.
The Baseball Hall of Fame at times is often one of the most controversial topics in baseball. Whether it be on what players should or shouldn’t be on the ballot orballots that are submitted by actual voters that are just mind boggling, like Bill Livingston of the Cleveland Plain Dealer voting for only Jim Thome and Omar Vizquel (you can see all of the ballots released thus far, including Livingston’s, here), it always proves to be an interesting time in the offseason.
Here at Rox Pile, we wanted to have our own takes on the ballot for the most prestigious honor in baseball. This is who I would vote for.
