This Week's Ballot:

Norm Cash

Elston Howard
Ted Kluszewski
Dolf Luque
Don Mattingly
Jack Morris
Buddy Myer
Lefty O'Doul
Billy Pierce

[BlueBlood]

Norm Cash - Maybe
Dave Concepcion - No

Lave Cross - No
Jack Fournier - No
Steve Garvey - Maybe
Elston Howard - No
Ted Kluszewski - No

Buddy Myer - No
Lefty O'Doul - Yes
Billy Pierce - No
Lip Pike - Yes
Hardy Richardson - Yes
Al Rosen - No
Bret Saberhagen - No
Cy Seymour - No
Roy Thomas - No

Edit: "No" to Saberhagen. I don't know what sort of WARP-contrivance The Hall Of Merit used for him, but I'm still not buying it. Switched from "Maybe"

[jjpm74]

Norm Cash No
Dave Concepcion No
David Cone No
Lave Cross No
Jack Fournier No
Steve Garvey No
Elston Howard No
Ted Kluszewski No
Dolf Luque No
Don Mattingly Maybe
Jack Morris Maybe
Buddy Myer No
Lefty O'Doul Yes
Billy Pierce Maybe
Lip Pike Yes
Hardy Richardson Maybe
Al Rosen No
Bret Saberhagen No
Cy Seymour No
Roy Thomas No

[Paul Wendt]

bold - Yes (certainly in the top 40)
underline - maybe
plain - No

Norm Cash
Dave Concepcion
David Cone
Lave Cross
Jack Fournier
Steve Garvey
Elston Howard
Ted Kluszewski
Dolf Luque
Don Mattingly
Jack Morris
Buddy Myer
Lefty O'Doul
Billy Pierce
Lip Pike
Hardy Richardson
Al Rosen
Bret Saberhagen
Cy Seymour
Roy Thomas

Hardy Richardson is the 33rd player "certainly in the top 40" with no one coming up in the Sal Bando group.

[jalbright]

Other than Richardson and possibly O'Doul (see note at end of post), I vote no on this group:

Norm Cash
Dave Concepcion
David Cone
Lave Cross
Jack Fournier
Steve Garvey
Elston Howard
Ted Kluszewski
Dolf Luque
Don Mattingly
Jack Morris
Buddy Myer
Lefty O'Doul
Billy Pierce
Lip Pike
Hardy Richardson--Yes
Al Rosen
Bret Saberhagen
Cy Seymour
Roy Thomas

Do we count anything but player contributions? I like O'Doul as a contributor, but not solely as a player.

[BlueBlood]

That's a question Freakshow needs to answer. Although, I could've sworn that the early UQFC polls told us to take everything into account...

A week old tomorrow, this is your last chance to post a ballot. You may have until Sunday depending on how busy my Saturday is but I wouldn't totally bet on that.

[Paul Wendt]

Eight is a painfully smaller electorate.

If you have voted here before, please do so again on Saturday.

Other Folks,
If you know of all these players, consider taking some time Saturday to cast a ballot here. This must be the easiest "cast" ever. Copy the ballot from #2. You can even do nothing for "No" (see Paul Wendt or jalbright); only mark the Maybe and Yes.
