You should have bolded one more word at the beginning...."likely", as in if they were good enough to be on the ballot once, what could they have done to lose their spot after three names are taken off. It is the HOF we are talking about, so common sense doesn't always come out on top. It's always going to be a ten person ballot according to the rules, so you would hope that they are considering who they feel are the ten best candidates, otherwise, what sense would the initial list make. I could come up with seven names that I think are better than those fairly easy.

Please check out my books on baseball history. They include the bio of star second baseman Dots Miller. A book featuring 20 Moonlight Graham players who got into just one game. Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
