The Mysterious Case of Harry Pulliam--
From what I read, I think Dahlen should be in, though I wouldn't call it a lock.
My OT question is, Why isn't Harry Pulliam [NL president, 1902-09] in? He seems to have all the credentials [he was also the league secretary, treasurer, and record-keeper, I believe]. If I accurately recall what I've read on the internet, He was beloved by much of baseball, but hated by John McGraw [Pulliam was the ultimate judge, upholding Merkle's boner as a force play, forcing a playoff game--Despite tremendous pressure from the powerful NY Giants]. It seems as if he may have been hounded to suicide, possibly because he might have been gay. He was memorialized at the World Series for many years. Yet no one mentions him. Is he even a candidate? I'd love to know more about his story, and if the rest of you think that he belongs, too. My apologies for diverting this thread, but today's h-o-f vote seems to have become the general topic, and I'm following that.

Doc Adams had 10 votes as mentioned above. Dahlen and Harry Stovey had 8 votes each (50% of the 16-person committee).
Each of the remaining candidates had three votes or fewer. Greg Last edited by sayhey24; 12-07-2015 at 10:21 AM.

This is a sham. First this crap last year with Dick Allen and now this. I hope the voters are happy with themselves.

The Hall of Fame voting process is pathetic. They should be ashamed of themselves
