SBN held a mock Hall of Fame vote. We followed the same rules that the old ladies at the BBWAA, meaning an elibgible player on the ballot only made the Hall if he received more than 75% of the vote. Two bloggers from each blog were invited to participate and most blogs complied with this number. HERE ARE THE SBN VOTING RESULTS.
Myself and Matt Welch each submitted a ballot on behalf of Halos Heaven. Matt's ballot named more players than mine did. I will leave it to Matt to discuss his selections. I voted for Bert, Larkin, Raines and Trammel. I held off on Alomar as I don't see him as a "first ballot" selection.
Bert Blyleven made the cut. Roberto Alomar was one vote short. Results are after the jump...
