BBWAA Breaks From SSS, Elects David Ortiz to the Hall of Fame

Last year, both SSS and the BBWAA failed to usher in a new member of the Hall of Fame.

In 2022, the patsies at the BBWAA did manage to push forward David Oritz into Cooperstown, while SSS held firm, with no honorees.

In spite of SSS readers being allowed to vote for more than 10 candidates, in many instances we were more stingy with our choices than the BBWAA. Overall, we had broader support for players, as many more candidates fell off of the BBWAA ballot. But in terms of the candidates closest to election, our vote was much tougher than the BBWAA, with Bonds polling -25%, Clemens -27%, Rolen -24%, and so on.
