Shumway Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I was reading through the possible nominees for the baseball hall of fame this year. I was just wondering how they decide who's eligible. I was shocked to see Gary DiSarcina on there. He's one of my all time favorites, but he didn't have that spectacular of a career. Last year, I was surprised to see Mark Langston on there. Anyone know how they decide who's put on the ballot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJMorris3 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Anyone who is retired five years gets on the ballot, as do any other players for which the following conditions are met:1) Not been retired 20 years2) Not already having been elected3) Having received at least 5% of the vote each year4) Not banned for gambling or other crimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted November 29, 2005 Author Share Posted November 29, 2005 There has to be more guys who would be first year eligible then. I guess they just automatically throw out a few guys then. Obviously there were a lot more players who retired the same year as DiSarcina and Will Clark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Sadly, the writer's vote for the inductees which I am totally against. We see greats like Jim Rice denied of the Hall, simply because they didn't like the media. Now-a-days, you have to kiss ass to the media to basically get in.

Gamingboy Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I think the procedure is that the player also had to have been active for at least 10 years also. Insert Witty Signature Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
