The Royals on Wednesday opened online fan balloting for the franchise’s 2017 Hall of Fame class.
The eligible former Royals include outfielder Al Cowens, outfielder Johnny Damon, right-handed pitcher Al Fitzmorris, outfielder Bo Jackson, third baseman Kevin Seitzer, right-handed pitcher Jeff Suppan and third baseman/outfielder Mark Teahen.
Royals fans can vote online at Royals.com/HOFVote through Jan. 30. The fan vote represents just 10 percent of the balloting process. In addition to fans, all living members of the Royals Hall of Fame, select members of the Royals Board of Directors, members of the Kansas City Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America, some Kansas City electronic media representatives and Royals front office staff will cast ballots.
