It always scares me.

The candidates:

Post '43
Allen
Hodges
Kaat
Oliva
Oliver
Pinson
Santo
Tiant
Torre
Wills

Pre '43
Dahlen
Ferrell
Gordon
Magee
Carl Mays
Stephens
Vernon
Walters
White

The last go around those who ranked at the bottom in terms of votes moved to the top and those who were at the top gained no ground. There are some glaring omissions to make up but I know some will not make it and some who don't really deserve it will. I do expect Ron Santo and Gil Hodges to make it. I'm really hoping Bill Dahlen and Sherry Magee finally do.

Didn't Allie Reynolds make it to the final ballot?

If Allen and Santo make it and Bert Blyleven gets elected as I expect in the next couple of years, aw, I've said it enough.

Yes he did.

I'm sure most of us here at BBF frequent baseball-reference.com quite often, but for those who don't, the front page of their website has a nice listing of the pre & post 1943 ballots:

I think most listed have a legitimate claim to the hall. However, I only have two that I'd be against, that would be Oliva and Ferrell. Otherwise, I'm good with any of them, including Reynolds.

definitely Santo, maybe Stephens.
