2025 Hall of Fame

[KnorrForYourMoney]

He should be, but I wouldn't necessarily bet on it.  Jeter, Griffey, Randy Johnson, and Greg Maddux were all denied unanimous selections just because of some dipcraps who thought they were making a point.

[HalfSmokes]

I’d like Felix to make it. He won’t, but I remember him an incredibly dominant pitcher.

Ryan Thibodaux's tracker of publicly shared ballots is here:
https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=F2E5D8FC5199DFAF%2169204&authkey=!ACe58mCXDocB0Ls

He has 132 ballots tracked. Looks like CC, Ichioro, Beltran, and Wagner get in. Andruw Jones is close.

[imref]

the above tracker now has all the ballots from The Athletic reporters, so now up to 141 ballots.

Locks: CC, Ichiro, Wagner
Likely: Beltran
Borderline: Jones

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

They should probably just close the HoF after Ichiro is inducted.

They should probably just close the HoF after Ichiro is inducted. 

Ichiro has been voted in on all 155 ballots shared so far.

[imref]

156 in, Ichiro still perfect.

[Mattionals]

156 in, Ichiro still perfect.

As it should be.

[varoadking]

As it should be.

Agreed...a no-brainer among all no-brainers...

i saw that 26 Japanese voters did not vote for Ichiro for their HoF. It makes no sense.

there's going to be one wet fart who digs the publicity of voting no who will say, "I don't consider Japan to be the majors and he was just a slap hitter when he got here."

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Probably had something to do with Yakuza and gambling

He played long enough for his MLB counting stats to be HoF worthy. It's funny, the baseball reference indicators are all over the place. Black ink has him as a no doubter, grey ink as slightly below HoF average. HoF monitor as one of the best players ever, standards as shy of the average HoF member. Jaws has him as the 17th best right fielder which should put him in comfortably

[imref]

he's still at 100% in Thibodaux's tracker with 155 votes in, but i'd imagine that anyone who wouldn't vote for him probably wouldn't share their vote publicly.

Beltran is sitting at 80.6%

[Natsinpwc]

Bobby Abreu should be in but probably won't.
