2018 Bronx Bomber Ball mock Hall of Fame voting results

Along with being Yankee enthusiasts, the staff here at the BBB is comprised of avid baseball fans across the entirety of the sport. With that being said, we decided to complete a mock Hall of Fame voting using the 2018 candidates. Similar to the official voting, our ballots could only comprise of up to ten candidates, but choosing less than ten candidates was surely an option. Any player with a mark above 75% would be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, if the voting rested in our hands. Here are the results of the sixteen ballots casted:

Some interesting tidbits from the results:

  •         Three players would have received 100% of the vote, which has never been done once.
  •         Roger Clemens would be the first of the “major players” associated with steroids to be inducted.
  •         Omar Vizquel and Johan Santana received zero votes along with former Yankees Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui.
