He got 5 pct of the vote his first year of eligibility. So the guys that saw his whole career recently didn’t even come close to putting him in. Ok. I’ll say he had some great numbers for a catcher, but he had the same numbers his first time on the ballot. Fock those guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BufordT 371 Posted January 4, 2021 For supposedly being a clean player Schilling had 106-51 win/loss record when we 34 years old and up. 110-95 before the age of 34. For comparison's sake Barry Bonds averaged 1hr/16ab's age 33 and before. 1hr/9ab's age 34 and up. They're both HOVG'ers though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He practically spit in Barry Bonds face and that should get him extra votes Now when I think HOF, Roberto Alomar is the type of player that should be in. Legendary defense and a great stick for 2B.

Mike Honcho 4,039 Posted January 26, 2021 Quote We will find out today, when MLB Network reveals the results of the 2021 Baseball Writers’ Association of America’s Hall of Fame ballot. The four-hour announcement show, presented by Camping World, is live right now ahead of the 6 p.m. ET reveal. The show is being simulcast on MLB.com and, for the first time ever, in the MLB app on connected devices. Four-hour announcement show and probably 50% chance nobody is inducted.
