The Final Results of Rox Pile’s Hall of Fame ballot series

We here at Rox Pile decided to think who we would vote for if we had real Hall of Fame ballots. None of us do so if you hate our ballots, don’t worry, they aren’t real. There are always some odd ones in the real voting and we had ones that I personally didn’t expect to see but nonetheless, we give you the results of the eight of us who published ballots.

Reminder: there is a ten player limit to ballots. A few of us (myself included) had a hard time paring it down to ten players. Some of us had no issues with that. With eight of us casting “ballots,” to achieve the 75 percent needed to achieve election in the real balloting, for us, the player would need to be on six of the eight ballots. To recap, here are the ballots that we submitted.

Each of our ballots

My ballot was 10 player ballot: Vladimir Guerrero, Trevor Hoffman, Edgar Martinez, Mike Mussina, Curt Schilling, Larry Walker, Fred McGriff, Chipper Jones, Jim Thome, and Johan Santana.

Next: How the current free agent trend is a good thing

With our balloting, we would have six players getting into the Hall of Fame. Clemens and Bonds would also be very close as they were just one vote away from making it in.
