Entering my 30th year in the @BBWAA, this is my 20th as a Hall voter.
Five holdovers, two adds, always willing to discuss.
(Before you ask/rip, I don’t vote for players who failed PED tests or got suspended after those rules were implemented).

With 200 ballots revealed, including 10 this morning from The Post, looks like two definite (Ichiro/CC), a third probable (Wagner) and a fourth possible (Beltran) will make the HOF tonight.

Jimmy Carter lived nearly 44 years after leaving office (in 1981), the most of any U.S. president. A warm, decent and deeply caring humanitarian.

My HOF ballot has five holdovers, two first-ballots, and after much consideration, I have decided to add Wright in Year 2. As always, happy to discuss.
