I don’t see a topic yet. Kind of a down year with no standouts in their first year of eligibility. Might be a quiet year in Cooperstown.

@NotMrTibbs: With 96 ballots revealed/~24.2% of the vote known:

No candidate >= 75%
---
Schilling 74.0%
BB/RC - 71.9%
Rolen - 65.6%
Helton - 53.1%
Sheffield - 52.1%
Jones - 43.8%
Wagner - 43.8%
Vizquel - 39.6%
Ramírez - 38.5%
Sosa - 26.0%
Kent - 20.8%
Abreu - 15.6%
Pettitte - 14.6%

Probably no one will make it this year. I saw an article on 538 that showed the percentages for the top guys last year with partial results known. They all dropped off by 7-9% when the remaining ballots were included.

30 minutes to the announcement. But, yeah, looking like no one this year.

I guess if the actual ceremony happens, Jeter and Walker will get their deferred ceremonies.

Nada. Next year discourse will be more insufferable than ever:

“Next year: 10th and final year on the ballot for Bonds, Clemens and Schilling.

1st year for A-Rod, Big Papi”

I'm glad Jeter and Walker will get a chance to have their ceremonies (COVID-willing) without any of the sideshow/controversy that would come along with it if any combo of Schilling/Bonds/Clemens got in this year.   

 

[FairWarning]

Schilling's statement was to take him off the ballot next year.  He said he would rather have his peers from the veterans committee elect him.

Vizquel has got to get in some day
