Can't get much closer than Biggio did with 74.8% of the votes... come on just round up

Was thinking the same thing....What is that 1 or 2 votes? Tough day for him.

I picked up a Biggio auto about an hour ago...hoping to add him to the collection before a price spike. I guess i'll have to wait until next year.

Nate,
Thanks for starting this thread.
FWIW, congrats to Maddox, Glavine and Thomas.
All 3 deserve to be in the HOF in my opinion.

Yeah you bet!

It was actually fairly accurate as far as who was elected and who fell off. Good job everyone, and thanks for participating.

Maybe they should grade on a curve. When a DUH! vote like Maddux doesn't get 100% of the vote then you know there are some voters who shouldn't be voting.

You know, I'm big on wondering how guys like Musial and such don't get 100% but sort of understand with Maddux. Is he a HOF lock? SURE! But with this ballot, crammed with players who are deserving (or at least deserving of a few years' discussion,) then I could see myself voting for 10 other guys, knowing full well Maddux will get in anyway.

Not saying this is the right thing to do, but I'd understand it.

This is why I say it should be done on a curve. I wonder if that is why Biggio didn't get those extra two votes, some just assumed he would be in and they could put their votes somewhere else. It only takes 2 guys thinking that way in this case.

Agreed, the writer who voted for guys like JT Snow shouldn't be voting either.

Anyone have a link to all the players that got votes and the corresponding percentages they could post?
