Season 49 Hall of Fame Voting

 There has been some lively discussion on the World Chat regarding the Hall of Fame debate, specifically who the five most deserving candidates are. The consensus seems to be that there are more than five guys who can make a compelling HOF case, and my calculations seem to back that opinion up...but the reality is that we can only elect five at a time, so I have used the Hall of Fame Standards created by Bill James to sort the candidates into several categories. Here are the results, and if you’re curious about the process that I used, feel free to TC/Sitemail me (or look back at previous posts!):

“Better Than Babe”

• None

No Doubt, First Ballot Hall of Famers

• Myron Byrnes, 72.90 points

There does seem to be a movement afoot to elect Webster, and as a newer owner I don’t feel qualified to dispute that...as a result, I will be voting for the following five candidates:

• Myron Byrnes, 72.90 points
• Enos Leonard, 70.20 points
• Tiny Garcia, 63.00 points
• Don Webster, 50.90 points
• Pablo Macias, 63.90 points
