Due to the site update I'll keep voting open until 9/6

I'd still like to end voting on 9/6.

Last call for ballots

1. Cap Anson. Sorry to ruin the party here, but will go ahead and plant my flag. I feel Anson was the greatest player of his era.
2. Lou Gehrig
3. Johnny Mize
4. Roger Connor
5. Dan Brouthers
6. Jimmie Foxx. 3-6 are a virtual tie for me. I'm generous with war credit, and assume that Mize lost 3 MVP-level years. I also think I value players in the 1920-1930 high-octane offense era less than the group in general.
7. Hank Greenberg
8. Jeff Bagwell
9. Frank Thomas
10. Eddie Murray
11. Rafael Palmeiro
12. Jim Thome
13. Mule Suttles
14. Keith Hernandez
15. Buck Leonard
16. Mark McGwire
17. Jake Beckley
18. Willie McCovey
19. Todd Helton
20. Will Clark
21. Joe Start
22. Harmon Killebrew
23. Dick Allen
24. George Sisler
25. Bill Terry

Sisler and Terry are the only two in this list not in my PHOM, but they're both close to the in-out line in my view and very defensible selections.

FWIW, I have Albert Pujols ranked ahead of Anson.

HoM 1b ranking:

1. Lou Gehrig
2. Jimmie Foxx
3. Cap Anson
4. Roger Connor
5. Dan Brouthers
6. Buck Leonard
7. Frank Thomas
8. Jeff Bagwell
9. Johnny Mize
10. Mark McGwire
11. Hank Greenberg
12. Jim Thome
13. Willie McCovey
14. Dick Allen
15. Mules Suttles
16. Eddie Murray
17. Keith Hernandez
18. George Sisler
19. Will Clark
20. Joe Start
21. Rafael Palmeiro
22. Todd Helton
23. Harmon Killebrew
24. Bill Terry
25. Jake Beckley

Only Terry and Beckley are not in my PHoM.

Election is over. Who was tallying ballots?
