2019 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot

[Eye Black]

I’m a little surprised Lance Berkman received just 1.2% of the vote and has now fallen off the ballot in his first year of eligibility. I don’t know if he is a Hall of Famer, but he should have been given a couple of years to be considered more seriously, IMO.

That's a problem when you only allow people to vote for 10 guys while the ballot is backlogged with viable candidates. There's no reason for it and informed voters should be able to vote for as many people as they want.

 

The same thing happened to Jim Edmonds (and others).
