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

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

Sad to see Ian Kinsler's hall of fame dreams are over.

CC as a first ballot HOF is wild to me. I'm here to argue the yankees bump

He's being rewarded for endurance and for being on some really good teams.

Will the Mariners join the Yankees with two 99%+ HOFers while no other team has

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If anyone doesn't vote for Ichiro, their rights should be rescinded.

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

I kind of like the idea of unanimity being reserved for the very most elite.

I would be there with you if it wasn't such a cudgel in the past because Babe wasn't elected. Like how was Willy Mays

Wait CC Sabathia is a first ballot HOFer?

As a TBS Braves fan kid I loved Andruw Jones. I hope he makes it.

Carlos Beltran should take a hit for being the mastermind of the Astros scandal

Like I said above, I think it’s worse than steroids and yet looks like he’ll ultimately get elected

I disagree with it being worse then steroids
