1967

Either 1967 or 1976 has to be the weakest class of newcomers. There isn’t a single player from this year that I feel compelled to vote for. There are a couple of guys who will receive a vote or two, but none will be elected; and I’ll be shocked if any of them ever finish in the Top 10.

Notables who drop off: Ted Lyons, Dom DiMaggio and Hank Sauer
