Here is the HBL Hall of Fame Ballot for 1928. Thanks to all who voted on the last ballot-I hope you will continue!!! There are quite a few new candidates to get to, so here they are:
Del Pratt- Del was a 2B for the Boston Red Sox from 1921 to 1927. He was voted Best 2b in the league 1 time. He was voted to 1 All-Star Team, where he hit 1-5, 1R. He holds the Red Sox season record for: AB(608). As of the end of 1928, he ranked 8th in hits, 13th in RBI, 3rd in doubles, 24th in triples, 16th in walks, 13th in runs, and 12th in SB. CAREER STATS : Eddie Collins- Eddie was a 2B for the Chicago White Sox from 1921 to 1927. He was voted Best 2B in the league 2 times. He holds the White Sox season records for: Hits(197), Runs(111), Walks(106), and Stolen Bases(46). As of the end of 1928, he ranked 8th in BA, 3rd in Hits, 7th in RBI, 12th in doubles, 5th in triples, 1st in Walks, 3rd in Runs, and 2nd in SB. CAREER STATS : Harry Hooper- Harry was an OF for the Chicago White Sox from 1921 to 1927. He won 1 Batter of the Month Award in his career. He holds the White Sox season records in: Batting Average(.343), and Hit Streak(20 games). As of the end of 1928, he ranked 5th in Hits, 17th in RBI, 9th in Doubles, 8th in Triples, 3rd in Walks, 4th in Runs, and 5th in SB. CAREER STATS : Bobby Veach- Bobby was an OF for the Detroit Tigers from 1921 to 1927. He was voted to 1 All-Star Team, where he hit 0-1, 1RBI. He played in 5 post-season games, where he hit 0-4, 1RBI. He holds the Tiger season records for: Hits(210). As of the end of 1928, he was ranked 14th in BA, 18th in Hits, 6th in RBI, 11th in Doubles, 14th in triples, 21st in Runs. His numbers were hurt towards the end of his career, as he was fighting for playing time with Harry Heilmann, Ty Cobb, Heinie Manush, and Bob Fothergill. CAREER STATS : Walter Johnson- Walter was a Pitcher with the Washington Senators from 1921 to 1926. He was awarded the Best Pitcher Award 1 time, named one of the Four Best Starting Pitchers in the League 3 times, voted to 2 All-Star teams(3IP, 10H, 8R, 5ER, 3BB, 0K), and named Pitcher of the Month 4 times. He holds the Senators season records in: ERA(2.65), Wins(22), and Ks(173). As of the end of 1928, he was ranked 1st in ERA, 1st in Wins, 1st in Ks, 1st in CG, and 1st in SHO. Many of the career records he has will probably not be approached for a very long time, if at all, especially his 402 wins. Because of his amazing career performance, the "Best Pitcher Award" will be renamed to the "Walter Johnson Award". CAREER STATS : Lefty Tyler- Lefty was a Pitcher for the Chicago Cubs from 1921 to 1927. During his years in the HBL, he had a record of 82-73 with teams that went 507-571. As of the end of 1928, he ranked 11th in Wins, 17th in Ks, 10th in CG, and 12th in SHO. CAREER STATS : Rube Marquard- Rube was a Pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds from 1921 to 1927. He was a Pitcher of the Month 1 time in his career. He holds the Reds season records for: ERA(2.48). As of the end of 1928, he ranked 18th in ERA, 8th in Wins, 7th in Ks, 8th in CG, and 10th in SHO. CAREER STATS : Rube Benton- Rube was a Pitcher for the New York Giants from 1921 to 1926. He won the NL Best Pitcher Award 1 time. He was named one of the Four Best SP in the League 3 times. He was voted to 2 All-Star teams(3IP, 6H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 2K). He was the Pitcher of the Month 2 times in his career. Rube holds the National League season record for: Wins(25). He holds the Giants season records for: ERA(2.45), and Wins(25). As of the end of 1928, he ranked 20th in ERA, 7th in Wins, 19th in Ks, 20th in CG, and 8th in SHO. CAREER STATS : Also, held over from last year, are Frank Baker, Larry Gardner, Max Carey, and Bill Doak. Carey, Doak, and Gardner will be off the ballot with no votes. Their information can be seen here: http://www.ootpbb.com/board/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=000098 I will keep the voting open for a couple of days or so. Thanks for voting!!!!
