Related News: Hall of Merit: 1936 BallotNewbie Pete Alexander appears to be the top candidate this year, while Smokey Joe Williams looks good for the second spot. Will newly eligible candidates Harry Heilmann, Dave Bancroft, or George Sisler spoil it for one of those two? Other returnees include Cristóbal Torriente, Heinie Groh, Stan Coveleski, Lip Pike, Jake Beckley, Max Carey and Rube Waddell. Oh God, mother! Blood! Blood! John (You Can Call Me Grandma) Murphy

Related News: Hall of Merit: 1935 Election Results: The Hall of Merit Goes “Up the Middle” By Selecting Collins and Lloyd!Second baseman Eddie Collins received the most votes this “year” in his second year of eligibility. The greatest at his position during the teens, “Cocky” had less competition this time since he didn’t have to fight it out with immortals Cobb and Speaker. Another “monster” returnee from ‘34, Negro League shortstop John Henry Lloyd earned the highest percentage of votes ever for a second place inductee with 91.9%. The greatest shortstop of the 1910s, “Pop” became the sixth Negro Leaguer to be elected so far. Negro League pitching legend Smokey Joe Williams is poised to be an inductee next year with an extremely strong third pace finish. Other returnees with much support were Cristóbal Torriente, Heinie Groh and Stan Coveleski. Rounding out the top ten were Jake Beckley, Lip Pike, Max Carey (his first year of eligibility) and Rube Waddell. Thanks to Don F, Evan Reich and Ron Wargo for their help double-checking the numbers!
