2019 Bronx Bomber Ball mock Hall of Fame voting results
Along
with being Yankee enthusiasts, the staff here at 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 2019 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 eleven ballots
casted:

Compared to our results from last
year’s ballot, we had a much smaller elected class in 2019. Clemens and
Martinez made it in last year, but fell short this time around. Mussina made it
for the second consecutive year. The largest vote increase was Billy Wagner who
gained 30% more of the vote this year. The largest drop was Manny Ramirez who
went from 25% to 9%. Notable players who would fall off the ballot are Edgar Martinez (last year on the ballot), Jeff
Kent and Lance Berkman.
