1905

Lots to choose from. If you like pitching, you got some good ones. If you like fielding wizards, there are some to pick. If you like hitting, there are some fun guys. If you like peak, there are some short career greats. If you like career, they are there. We have a bunch of .300 hitters, 300 game winners, sluggers, and defense-first guys. I’m betting our ballots are all over the place.

Unless someone needs more time, this election will close Tuesday night.
