Executive Marvin Miller and Catcher Ted Simmons elected by modern era committee. It remains a travesty that Lou Whitaker is not in the hall of fame.
Alfonso Soriano got 6 votes. Adam Dunn got 1.One voter did not vote for Derek Jeter. Oh, and Larry Walker got in.
Brad Penny?!?
Derek Jeter was one vote shy of being an unanimous selection into the HOF
Whoever didn’t vote for him should never be allowed to cast another vote again.
Got to be a Boston writer.
nah, the Mets beat guy.
Why? There have been plenty of better players who were not unanimous.
Agree - but I wonder what made Mariano Rivera unanimous ?
Probably the fact that he was the greatest of all time at his position. Think of how relatively few MLB players we saw in our lifetimes were even in the conversation for greatest ever at their position. Mariano Rivera is indisputably the greatest relief pitcher ever.
Juan Soto
Walker becomes only the second Canadian horn player in the Hall. Quick trivia. Who is the other? No checking Google.
Jenkins, right. I had heard that a week or so ago.
Which one? Jenkins was traded four times.
