Hall of Merit — A Look at Baseball's All-Time Best Thursday, June 21, 20072000 Results: Ryan Starts and Gets Relief From Gossage and Fingers For the Hall of Merit Squad!In his second year of eligibility, legendary flamethrower Nolan Ryan easily captured the first spot for Hall of Merit induction with his outstanding 96% of all possible points. Star fireman and intimidating presence Rich Gossage earned an impressive 75% of all possible points in his first year on the ballot. The “Goose” is the second relief pitcher honored by the HoM. Last but not least, famed Oakland, San Diego and Milwaukee relief ace Rollie Fingers tied Yankee great Willie Randolph with 295 points, but the former was victorious due to the tie-breaker rule (he had more second place votes) He becomes the third reliever ever honored by the HoM and second of the night, despite an underwhelmimg 26% of all possible points in his 10th year of eligibility. Rounding out the top-ten were: Cannonball Dick Redding, Pete Browning, Dave Stieb, Charley Jones (back in the top-ten!), Roger Bresnahan (big jump for him, too!) and Tony Perez (impressive jump back into the top-ten!).

* not eligible for the HOF
Guys, as long as I'm in charge of handling the elections, here is the new rule: All ballots will not be counted after 7:59 PM EDT, either in runaway or extremely tight races. I will e-mail everyone early that day if it looks like it will be a close one as a reminder, but whether or not I receive a response from you, I'm shutting it down at 8. No ifs, ands or buts. I don't want to see what happened on Monday.
It would also be nice if we could end the last minute ballot posts, too. We have an extra week, yet we have more of these posts on Monday than we ever did.
This is not a knock on Joe, BTW. The rule was too flexible and was bound to explode in our faces. Fortunately, Joe was big enough to rescind his ballot and I thank him for that.
Let's remember that without Joe's vision, our lives would be the lesser. I personally don't consider that an overstatement.
Indisputably.
Randolph - 311
Fingers - 310
Browning - 303
Redding - 289
Jones - 288
and Bucky Walters would have pushed Tony Perez out of 10th spot, 247 to 238.
So vote and vote early!! Who do we want from that group of four along with presumably Whitaker and Winfield? Or is it which two do we want among the group of four (the punk group, not the Chinese one) plus three (Mattingly, Puckett, and Whitaker) to join Winfield?
This is our first tie for an election spot in 103 elections, isn't it?

Lance Parrish should be in the mix as well.

1997 Roush-Beckley (13)
1998 Beckley-Redding, Randolph (8,19)
2000 Fingers-Randolph, Redding, Browning (0,6,9)
2000 is closest for 2 candidates, 3 candidates, and 4 candidates within one ballot of an election slot.
1975 is our other candidate for the closest election, with 5 such candidates.
9 of the last 16. 4 of the last 5.
Considering the fielding positions played by leading new candidates, Willie Randolph is most likely to lose a few points in the new considerations.

In the interest of Mrs. Dr. Chaleeko being of Armenian extraction, can you explain the Armen Tamzarian rule? I assume it must concern the "alledged" genocide.
Thanks!
It's an episode of the Simpsons. It turns out Seymour Skinner isn't really Seymour Skinner, but a former hoodlum named Armen Tamzarian. They drive the real Seymour Skinner (who'd been held in a Vietnamese sweatshop as a POW all these years) out of town tied to the back of a railroad car because they like the old one better. Then they have the town judge come out and say no one's allowed to say the name Armen Tamzarian again under penalty of death.
Exactly as I said, it's all about Turks slaughtering Armenians. Thanks for the confirmation.
You know I remember when Yankee fans wished that anyone else was the real Joel Skinner....
Worst. Episode. Ever.
I would never have made that double-play when I was 7 if not for him. I saw him (I think, it was 30 years ago) get a grounder and tag the guy running from first to second, and then throw out the guy at first. I remember thinking one day as I was waiting for the guy that IF I got a grounder, I could try the same thing. And he did, and I did, and it worked. My dad couldn't stop talking about that play (mine) for about 5 years, like any good dad would.
Anyhow, I look forward to these elections. Thanks, guys.
Torture. It's penalty of torture.
Please note that the original Bob Johnson and Tommy John totals were wrong. It is correct in these results.
Just want to make sure that the all-time vote totals are correct.
Thanks
Oh well.
Thanks, Paul!
i'm not a participant, but i love the HOM. thank you all so much for enriching my knowledge and joy of baseball.
Or the postseason achievements.
...or the quality of teammates.
You'd have a hard time getting many Cubs fans to buy that - myself included. I often wondered why we 'under-appreciate' Lee Smith so much. I'm not sure if it's more the Garvey home run, never really getting over Sutter (that was some pen the Cubs had somewhere around the late 70s/early 80s -- Sutter, Smith, Willie Hernandez, Dave Campbell), or the tripe they got in trade for him -- but there's just a strong dislike for and palpable feel that he's over-rated.
In part it was those bases on balls. Fans hate it when the closer walks a batter or two.
ERA+ 148, WHIP 1.30
That must be unusual.
During Smith's two years in Boston, he walked 70 in 154 innings while Reardon in Minnesota walked 27 in 146 innings. Joe Morgan was and still is a popular local man. Maybe the Sox made the trade for sake of his health, and our pleasure who have enjoyed him in retirement on the banquet circuit.

Redding, Browning, Jones, and Bresnahan who rank 5-3-6-7 on the active list are all viable for election. Well, seven years is a long time; it's five months. Others are viable too.
Now who is rather high up on that list despite going in rather quickly? Beckwith? Mackey?
As the years pass I have come to accept the verdict of the informed electorate.
Still, I hold out hope that either Duffy or GVH (Jimmy Ryan's never gonna make it) will somehow slip in via a third place slot.
I think it is quite impressive that each of those guys averaged more than 1 run scored per game played that year.
Must have been a great team to watch, what with Anson managing and playing a strong 1B.

1987 AL: Detroit Tigers (Darrell Evans)
1987 AL: Minnesota Twins (Bert Blyleven)
1988 AL: Boston Red Sox (Dwight Evans)
1988 NL: New York Mets (Keith Hernandez)
1990 AL: Boston Red Sox (Dwight Evans)
Unless your list requires a HOMer to be a full-time player, I think the following teams had a HOMer on their roster at some point during their championship season:
1918 NL: Chicago Cubs - Pete Alexander
1939 NL: Cincinnati Reds - Al Simmons
1948 NAL: Birmingham Black Barons - Willie Mays
1949 NAL: Birmingham Black Barons - Willie Mays
Actually, I have Joss with 4247. Not sure where the difference is from.
Thanks!
