Tim Raines, Jeff Bagwell, and Ivan Rodriguez have been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame

There is nothing like the voting for the Baseball Hall of Fame. There is intrigue around who has the right to vote, the standards which should be used to evaluate a player’s eligibility as well as their career, and then there is the reliving all of these great careers as we discuss the players’ merits. Make no mistake, while not all of the guys we talk about are Hall of Famers...playing long enough to warrant inclusion is no small task.

However, with the limit of ten votes per voter, the 75% threshold for induction, and the 5% threshold for even staying on the ballot, tough choices had to be made and the voters have cast their ballots.
