The Hall Of Fame
Posted on: January 5, 2010 by admin
The baseball hall of fame is one of the biggest hall of fame style places that any sport has. Sure, there is basketball, billiards, and more hall of fame type places, but none are like the MLB Hall of Fame.
Basically, like this year for example in 2010, 13 first timers will make the ballot. For first timers, like this year Roberto Alomar and Barry Larkin, making the Hall will prove to be tough. They have to show up on at least 75% of the MLB ballots sent out to the Baseball Writers Association of America. Players that make the list will have to be more than a hometown favorite to get in. To impress the baseball writers of America, they must be nationally recognized. If they were not somewhat nationally recognized then they would not be on the ballot. They key here is how long they played, what were their stats and what kind of impact did they make on the game.
So the next time you’re interested in guessing who will make it this year, look up the 2010 MLB ballot and make your guesses and selections. See if your nominees match up with the writer’s choices.
