Hall of Merit — A Look at Baseball's All-Time Best Tuesday, December 26, 20061992 Results: Seaver Deemed Terrific By the Hall of Merit, Plus How the Grich “Stole” The Election!In his first year of eligibility, immortal New York Met pitcher Tom Seaver achieved almost 100% of all possible points to win induction into the Hall of Merit. He is also the sixth player who found himself in an elect-me spot on everyone’s ballot without achieving total unanimity. In a major upset, Oriole and Angel star Bobby Grich nosed out hit king Pete Rose to earn the second spot this year for induction with 65% of all possible points (less than a point over “Charlie Hustle”). Rose was leading comfortably until the last day of the election, when Grich finally pushed ahead due to 16 protest non-votes against the Cincinnati legend. Rounding out the top-ten were: Pete Browning (huge jump ahead!), Nellie Fox, Jimmy Wynn, Charlie Keller, Quincey Trouppe, Eddie Roush, and Rollie Fingers.

1. John (You Can Call Me Grandma) Murphy Posted: December 27, 2006 at 01:09 AM (#2269029)Wow, again!
I didn't really see this coming, even though I felt Rose was going to take a major hit this election.
Next election is going to be major fun, don't you think? ;-)
Next year, Pete will be on my ballot, I had my say, but he will be behind Reggie! with probably Carlton 3 and Niekro 4.
Are we gonna send a "Santo letter" to Gri(n)ch?

As for Rose, he may be #1 next in '93 on my ballot.
no change in the Top 10... Redding claims 11th, needs two more elections to grab top 10 slot.. Only 30.5 pts separate active Nos. 17-19 - Ryan, Bresnahan, Leach... Cravath needs to maintain his support to the finish the become the 25th and final 10,000 vote-pt man.

not quite
(Joss 3808, Elliott 3325, Dean 3329, Wynn 3190)
After 18 ballots (OCF)(35%), Rose had a 131 pt lead. There had been only two (of 16 total) boycotters, and there were four ballots cast omitting Grich (of 7 total).
After 44 ballots (Andrew M), Rose still had a 113 pt lead. Ten boycott votes had been cast, and all seven votes omitting Grich.
The last 8 ballots contained 6 protest votes. The lead disappeared in a hurry.
Although I didn't boycott Rose, I am happy that Grich got in. He deserves better than having to wait two years, as he would almost certainly have done without the boycott.
But I'm going to have to revamp my 1993 prelim ballot now, as I had anticipated a Rose election in 1992.
The 1993 election also just got more interesting. I expect Niekro will draw the short straw, but I've been surprised by the results in the last two elections, so what do I know?
One thing I'm wondering is whether we're going to send one to Rose, when he is elected. If we do, I'm sure that he'll get the wrong idea that we approve of his actions, and that he belongs in the HOF.
I wonder who didn't vote for Rose or Grich?
You, jhwinfrey (-11), and yest (the outlier).
I posted at the beginning of the election that I felt that the anti-protest voters would vote earlier than the pro-protest voters. Just a gut feeling, but it was an accurate one.
Was this some kind of fluke based on a couple of people missing the holiday election?
It looks like a lot of voters wouldn't touch Rose with a thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot pole...
Because he's a nasty, wasty skunk! :-)
That wasn't 1/2 a boycott. That is where karl truly believes Rose ranks. He even said that Pete is #13 on his '93 ballot.
Head to head? If not, it should be. It is better than elect-me votes.
The de facto tie-breaker for non-election spots is number of ballot appearances
(easier to implement in the spread-sheet used for election tallying).
1. Head-to-head, if applicable.
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
4. Strength of victory.
5. Strength of schedule.
6. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
7. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best net points in conference games.
9. Best net points in all games.
10. Best net touchdowns in all games.
11. Coin toss.
It gets a little more complicated if there are more than two players involved, but it is nothing we can't handle.
(Sorry, I'm feeling smart-alecky lately.)
You look at each ballot that had either player on it. The player ahead on more of those ballots wins.
It's been used before in lower rank tie-breakers, but I don't think we've ever had to use it to determine an election spot.
He is now. He wasn't after the 1992 HoF election, which is what John is working with. And Davis is by no means the only player in that particular category.
It's gonna be fun.
This is as of 2006-07.
That sound right?

From the HOF website:
Veterans Committee members will receive their ballots in early January, with voting to take place throughout January and February.
"You guys" should write to them in support of HOM-electees. It couldn't hurt, right?
It depends, Guapo. If some of them heard that many of us utilize sabermetrics, that could deep-six a particular player's candidacy. :-)
