At the bottom of the Hall of Fame Ballot
2007 Election Results
Who is voting for Dante Bichette for the Hall of Fame? He had one great year. One. And Jay Buhner? Heck, he only made the All-Star team once! Three very nice seasons in the middle of an otherwise mediocre career.
I only bring this up because there is no way on earth that letting the fans have a piece of the vote would create worse results. Anyone who didn't vote for Ripken and Gwynn, or who did vote for Dante Bichette or Jay Buhner ought to have his vote taken away. Presidential elections, too.
| Orel Hershiser | 24 | 4.4 |
| Albert Belle | 19 | 3.5 |
| Paul O'Neill | 12 | 2.2 |
| Bret Saberhagen | 7 | 1.3 |
| Jose Canseco | 6 | 1.1 |
| Tony Fernandez | 4 | 0.7 |
| Dante Bichette | 3 | 0.6 |
| Eric Davis | 3 | 0.6 |
| Bobby Bonilla | 2 | 0.4 |
| Ken Caminiti | 2 | 0.4 |

Six votes for Jose Canseco? Sigh. It looks like I won't be able to retire early on my 1986 Fleer card afterall.
