Based on the first ~100 HoF ballots, Ichiro, CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner, and Carlos Beltran are all above the 75% line.

I can only assume that’s why Ichiro is getting 100% too, but it will be fun to see two players get elected

Ichiro had more at-bats in the playoffs as a New York Yankee, so he counts for them too. 3-1.

If anyone doesn't vote for Ichiro, their rights should be rescinded.

Zooropa

Felix just needed a couple more good years but he imploded.

shimmy

Felix had 50 bWAR through his age 29 season and was as much of a HoF slam dunk as you can be at that age

I think the only reason to not vote for a HOFer should be if you don't have any votes left. Waiting to vote
