I've redone this post to allow for multiple voting




It's time to select who is among the greatest "commons" in baseball. The rules were simple, a player could never have received more than five votes for the real Hall Of Fame.
I took nominations from the board. Because of the numbers I had to limit it to the recent baseball card era and to those players that received at least one vote.

Vote for as many as you think are appropriate. Voting is open till January 10th. Nominations are closed and only include those mentioned in the original post by board members. If your favorite isn't here, there's always next time.

Next to each nominee's name is the total number of votes they received from the Baseball Hall of Fame voting.

Sal Bando 3
Lance Berkman 5
Cesar Cedeno 2
Rocky Colavito 3
Vince Coleman 3
Eric Davis 3
Bucky Dent 3
Brian Downing 2
Ron Fairly 3
Steve Finley 4

The poll would only let me vote for one player, so I left a post above with the names.

In true form of the republic I voted for myself.

I guess you have to reload and vote gain if you want multiple names.
If someone knows how to fix that to allow multiple voting please let me know.

That won't work.

You had to click off the Allow Multiple Options box when posting the Poll. Only Leon can fix your Poll now so ask him. But if and when he does fix it, all vote tallies will be set back to zero.

Can’t believe Denny McLain doesn’t have more than my vote. In 4 seasons 1965 to 1969) , the dude won 108 games (16, 20, 17, 30 w/ 1.96 ERA, 24), 2 CYAs, 1 MVP, & 1 World Series. Appeared in 3 AS games. 2.95 ERA during that span. Then his career collapsed for too many reasons.

Lance Berkman
John Olerud
Reggie Smith

Willie Davis

write in vote.

My official one vote went to Old Charlie Hough, who shares a rookie card with Bob O’Brien! I don’t currently own one, sadly.
My top 3 would be:
Hough
Olerud
Berkman

McClain and Davis as real close 4&5.

Happy last day of the year,
Bob
