I believe he would be eligible for the Classic ballot (prior to 1980) not the Contemporary ballot.

I don’t know what the individuals feelings are but yes, seems like many of their peers. Plus, in 2023 Mattingly got 50% of the vote.

But, sometimes HOFers tend to be very against inclusion and aren’t keen on adding anyone. Tricky.

he said, “Carlos Delgado is the best player in history to get booted off the Hall of Fame ballot after his first year.”

Kepner voted for Sheffield but I think everyone else termed out before he got his ballot.

I do think the safest guess is Kent.

Hey Doug! If I was a voter I’d go Bonds, Clemens, and Kent. I’d like to just get some of these obvious guys in and settled with.

I’d also try to read the room and if, say, Kent has no chance at election but someone like Murphy does I’d go Murphy.

How about you?
