Stunned a player can get that many votes these days. If it was ever revealed Griffey was a juicer they would just close down Cooperstown.

1 last shot for Tim Raines. Don't think its gonna happen :/

Hoffman getting that big a % on his first ballot means hes going to get in at some point. If the hall of fame wasnt already a joke....

and the 3 guys that didnt vote for griffey need to stand up and explain why.

Really do not get the percentage difference between Hoffman and Wagner. Wagner was the better pitcher. Neither guy belongs in though.
 

And the fact that writers love Hoffman to death. He's the nicest guy on earth. That buys him a lot of credit, it's why he almost got in this year (which would have been fucking absurd).

Since he set the record what is the reasoning behind voting for Griffey but not a guy like Maddux a few years back?

100 voters had their voting rights stripped, most of those were the old timers who hadn't covered baseball in 30 years and didn't want anybody to be unanimous cause "MUH TRADITION"
 
Significantly higher percentage for Clemens and Bonds. Interesting. I personally think they should both be in. Steroids aren't going to make Taylor Teagarden hit 762 home runs.
 
Had no idea Jr. and Musial had the same birthday (Jr was born the same year Musial got inducted in the HoF, incidentally). Knew they were both born in Donora, though

Wonder what future HoFer is gonna be born in Donora on Nov 21 this year!
 
Grew up in the Seattle area as kid of the 80s/90s. Junior was my childhood hero. The radio montages of Niehaus' play by play with Junior brought all the feels while driving home today.
