	This is your official Sporcle HOF ballot. ONLY VOTE for those players you would put in the hall and then quit. We will see if anyone gets 75%. I have included only players who are no longer active and who have a somewhat plausible case for the hall. The 30 players on this ballot range from shoe ins to longshots, from steroid users to clean players. Let the debate begin, but in the end the votes will tell the story.

	Etheridge2:	Nov 29th, 2009 at 13:00 GMT		1 point
	The 30 player ballot is Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, Rafel Palmeiro, Roger Clemens, Greg Maddux, Jack Morris, Bert Blyleven, Andre Dawson, Dale Murphy, Juan Gonzalez, Frank Thomas, Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Fred McGriff, Edgar Martinez, Roberto Alomar, Barry Larkin, Ron Santo, Lee Smith, Keith Hernandez, Don Mattingly, Jeff Kent, Bernie Williams, Tim Raines, Luis Gonzalez, Jim Edmonds, Curt Schilling, Mike Piazza, and Larry Walker

	If this is supposed to be a ballot, as opposed to a "can you name these people with chances at the HoF?" quiz, then why not just put their names IN THE GAME? Why make people try to figure out who is who?

	Etheridge2:	Nov 29th, 2009 at 13:45 GMT		1 point
	reasons... 1. I think people sometimes for names over numbers and the numbers should matter more 2. I think it is a bit more fun this way 3. I did say read comments first and gave all 30 names in the comments I don't want people to not know who I am talking about, but I thought if I just put the names in the quiz then it isn't as fun, though I am curious what others think, I can change it.

Comment below threshold: show it

	...But you didn't give the names in order. What if someone says, "Oh, this guy has great stats! He should be in the Hall! But, uh, who is he?" And shenry, this only considers players who are no longer active; of course, it should theoretically only consider players who are Hall-eligible, that is, guys who have not played in te majors for at least five years. Also, why not list how many World Series these players won? Don't you think that's an important factor the actual voters consider?

	A good thing to do would add the position they played at. It looks like Jeff Kent is getting snubbed in the voting because his numbers aren't as high as OFers and 1st basemen even though they are legendary for a 2nd basemen.

	Also, how is McGwire getting more support than Bonds, Clemens, Sosa, Palmeiro when he's the least talented of the 5 of them? PS - ADD MORE TIME

	bennyboy44:	Nov 29th, 2009 at 16:39 GMT		0 points
	why are some of these players eligible? is this a random selection of players? bonds isnt on the ballot yet

	Antithesys:	Nov 29th, 2009 at 16:43 GMT		3 points
	I'm trying to understand why you didn't just make this the official HOF ballot for this year, which was released this week.

	softballove: Bonds was a hall of famer LONG before there were any steroid allegations

	ianmez:	Nov 29th, 2009 at 18:41 GMT		1 point
	Please add more time if you're not going to put the names right in the quiz.

	Ben Goldberg:	Nov 29th, 2009 at 19:41 GMT		3 points
	softballove -- also, the HOF is a freakin MUSEUM, not a church...bonds was a lock HOFer before the steroid thing came up, and these guys still were the best players of their era; plenty of ****ty players took PEDs and still weren't nearly as good

	I chose these players as they are all no longer playing, some have not been out of the game long enough to be on the ballot others (Santo) are only on the veterans ballot. I didn't put more time, because the point is to just type in the people you would vote in and not type them all in, and 3 minutes should be plenty. I should have added WS won and will do that for all of them. positions I didn't put in because I think it short changes guys the other way when it is in, I mean I am sorry but Larry Walker has numbers every bit as impressive as Mike Piazza, and yet Mike Piazza was one of the worst defensive catchers ever, while Larry Walker is one of the greatest RFers to ever play the game, yet the position works for Piazza and against Walker. I put gold gloves because it is a gauge of how good a person was defensively (admittingly not a perfect one.) I may add positions or the names if people think to would be nice. I may do one just with this years ballot too.

	I added the players names with there stats and the number of WS Championships each player won (if applicable), Interesting that NOBODY has 75%, Biggio is the leader at 71% and 2nd place is McGwire (I find that shocking.)

	FastEddie:	Jan 3rd, 2010 at 05:45 GMT		1 point
	Very interesting idea for a quiz. I'm actually glad to see Biggio is the leader so far. Extremely underrated player throughout his career.

	stustustudio:	Jan 3rd, 2010 at 06:03 GMT		1 point
	Biggio being a more popular choice than Alomar is ridiculous.

	jwild09:	Mar 15th, 2010 at 23:36 GMT		1 point
	take away the names and put in a number next to the stats and add a another clue so once they answer they see who they picked that way its not judgemental of steriods

	DJC83:	Apr 2nd, 2010 at 02:18 GMT		2 points
	Cool idea. Very clever. So far Maddux and Biggio are above the 75% cutoff. Besides those two, I also voted for Blyleven, Smith, Martinez, Alomar, McGriff, Piazza, Walker, Thomas, Schilling, and Bagwell. You might consider removing Dawson, given that he's already squirted his way into the Hall.

	Hirsby:	Aug 18th, 2010 at 04:40 GMT		2 points
	As of today, the only player over 75 percent is Maddux, at 81 percent. (Which is ridiculous, since what possible case against Greg Maddux can you possibly make?! He should be in the 99-100 percent category.)
