HOF Monitor 129

Hanley Ramirez received 20.8% in his first year on the ballot. Ramirez remains the career leader in doubles with 482. At the age of 23/24 Hanley looked like a sure bet for the Hall, but he then became human again. Still had a nice career though. 1947 Rookie of the Year, 1948 League MVP. 3 Silver Slugger awards. JAWS 43.5, Black Ink 17, Gray Ink 99, HOF Standards 37, HOF Monitor 86

Players dropped from the ballot. Jim Rice 3.5%. Wade Davis 2.0

I'm one of those sabermetric assholes who would've kept Jim Rice out of the HoF IRL had it been up to me. Is it wrong of me to be happy to see him dropped from the ballot? God, what a prick I am!
