FanGraphs author Jay Jaffe takes us through the specifics for the standard Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, from how to get on the list, how to stay on it, and how to finally get a plaque in Cooperstown. The key takeaway for Rockies fans is 75 percent; both Larry Walker and Todd Helton need that many ballots to check their box.
The two have some work to do.
Larry Walker received 21.9 percent of the vote in 2017, but saw percent increases of 12.2 and 20.5 the next two years. He still would need a jump like last year to reach the threshold, and as Jaffe of FanGraphs states, Walker would need the third largest leap ever over the finish line to be inducted this year.
