Happy to see Barry Larkin get voted in. I am also happy that Tim Raines and Jeff Bagwell have received a higher amount.

Very happy that Juan Gonzalez is off the ballot.

Not happy that Bernie barely gets to stay on it.

I always wondered if Bernie is HOF worthy. He sure was a fan favorite, but he lacked judgement which he made up with speed.

Much deserved based on stats.

Why are McGwire and Palmeiro still eligible after today?

Why are McGwire and Palmeiro still eligible after today?

They received more then the 5% of votes, that is required. Even if a player is dropped from the BBWAA vote, they sometimes are reinstated for the veterans committee.

And a BIG CONGRATS to Barry Larkin, the old Denver Bear himself, not to mention a top MLB SS for years.

I can only offer X-rated words for the second Bagwell snub!

Agreed. Really takes the wind out of it.

But congratulations to Larkin. He is certainly deserving.

A little upset for Raines. He moved up, but hardly enough to satisfy.
