Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot Tracker with @tonycal.bsky.social and @shutthedore.bsky.social

These are new limits imposed by OneDrive this year. There's not much I can do about it (other than planning to move off of OneDrive next year). The lock seems to reset randomly, so you just have to re-load until you get in. I'm posting more frequent leaderboard updates here. Situation sucks. Sorry!
Thanks for the update. The tracker appears to be locked from public view, will the tracker sheet be updated to allow public view soon?
For those just tuning in, I'm sorry you probably can't access the Tracker. We are already at work on a (very cool) solution for next year. Doesn't help for the next 28 hours, I realize. Follow me, @tonycal.bsky.social and @shutthedore.bsky.social here and we'll keep you frequently updated. 🙏
Here is the BBWAA ballot release: bbwaa.com/26-hof-ballo...
Looks like about 100 ballots that will be new to the Tracker. We'll have them in the Tracker later this afternoon.

Chase Utley ended the pre-results portion of ballot season at 69.0%. We've added 15 post-results ballots since then and Utley has been on 13 of them! With 260 ballots tracked, Utley sits at 70.0%.
Utley has *never* been at 70% in the Tracker (min. 10 ballots) until a few minutes ago.

Centers of Attention: Carlos Beltán and Andruw Jones Elected to the Hall of Fame
On a ballot that lacked strong first-year candidates, two holdovers overcame sizable dents and dings in their candidacies to gain entry.

This will need to be updated. Félix ties Aparicio for biggest all-time year over year gain (we'll have to dive into the decimal places to see who's actually #1). Utley and Pettitte also join the list.

Update at 243 ballots. Less than a half hour to go. We think we'll have our usual final two ballots from SNY right at the top of the hour. Anything else...?
