Former Carolina Knight Ramon Galindo was appearing on the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time, and as expected he dropped off the ballot after receiving just 2.5% of the vote. Galindo won a ring with Carolina when he hit .309 as a 26 year old third baseman. For his career he hit .275 with 96 home runs, 745 RBI, and 888 runs scored.
His teammate in Carolina the year we won the World Series was also on the ballot, 2B Pete Woolford, who faired a little better. Woolford hit .236 that year with 26 home runs and hit .233 with 432 home runs during his career. He'll stay on the ballot after receiving 17.7% of the vote.
Two players did make the Hall of Fame this year though.
Second baseman Ben Holland was the leading vote getter with 90.6% of the vote. Holland won an MVP Award in 2029 when he hit .366 with 34 home runs and 100 RBI. Holland was an eight time All-Star who won three Silver Slugger Awards while hitting .318 for his career with 270 home runs. Holland's JAWS score and HOF Standards score were both above the average Hall of Famer.
Also joining the Hall of Fame this year was catcher Jim Green who was inducted with 80.8% of the vote in his fourth year on the ballot. Green hit just .234 during his career with 454 career home runs. A seven time All-Star Green won one Silver Slugger Award and two Gold Gloves during his career. Green had a HOF Standards score above average.
