I'm going to vote for about half these codebits, though most of them hit their career totals more through longevity than talent. The average SimD career length is about 16 years and these players mostly went 18-20 years and beyond. I also note a dearth of Detroit and Oakland and Pittsburgh nominees this time around. Curious. Were those teams having down years? Ah, well. No matter.

1b Dan Shaute, Minnesota
Only one of two I pick with a BA of .300 of more.

SS Steve Womack, Minnesota
The only one of the nominess who - I felt - was head and shoulders above the rest.

CF Paul Gomes, Brooklyn
Fell off the face of the earth once he hit his second decline year, but was royalty prior to that.

RF George Johnson, Minnesota
Was a quality player right into his twilight years.

I am pleased to announce that the following players have been inducted into the Hall of Fame (4/6 votes were necessary):

Dan Shaute
John Hernandez
Steve Womack
Icehouse Barna
Fenton Bevens
Paul Gomes
George Johnson
Ed Rodgers

For the first time, however, we had a few split votes. The following players received 3 votes, so because it was an even 50-50, if there is anyone who would like to change their vote they may do so on this thread. If there is no change, the players will not be inducted.

Greg Carson
Ralph Spencer


Thanks to everyone for voting extremely quickly, the next ballot should be out soon.
