Sorry I'm a few days late in getting this up, I've been pretty busy the past few days.
Honus Wagner won the 4th spot and didn't really have a strong challenger, so the field should be wide open this time. I''ve added George Brett to replace Wagner. Feel free to make suggestions of players that should be added to future ballots.
Eligibility: In order to be eligible, a player must 1) Be in the Hall of Fame or considered to be extremely likely to be elected in the next election (i.e. Rickey Henderson); and 2) Be designated as a "player" by the Hall of Fame.
Voting Criteria: Voting is to be based on a player’s qualifications to be in the Hall of Fame. As such, subjective elements can factor into the evaluation, and this should not simply be an exercise in ranking players based on statistics. Jackie Robinson is probably the best example of this.
Election Format: Elections will last 5 days, with winner takes all. A tie will result in a 2 day runoff. For now the ballot will list 40 players, plus an “Other” option. If voting for “Other” please post and specify the player. Also, feel free to let me know if you feel I should expand/contract future ballots and/or add/subtract certain players from the future ballots.
Results
1) Babe Ruth
2) Ty Cobb
3) Willie Mays
4) Honus Wagner
