SO49: 1954 Hall of Fame Ballot
Since the seasonal balloting is always an iffy thing - sometimes I get 100% returns, sometimes not...I have decided to expand the SO49's HOF Balloting to the Dynasty forum. You may, of course, vote for as many people as you wish from this ballot. Thanks!

DiMaggio is a no-brainer.
Gordon's numbers look good on first glance, but are even more impressive when considering that he is a 2B. Taking that in to account, he is an obvious choice. Feller is also a fairly easy selection. A bit low on the longevity scale, but the fact that he missed two seasons to the war should not be held against him. Nicholson is close and I think it is only a matter of personal bias that I didn't vote for him. Power is impressive with 367 home runs, but I'm not sure that his longevity is enough for the HOF. A very borderline candidate and I would have no problem with him being in, I just wouldn't vote for him. The other players are all very good pitchers (Brecheen is going to be a no-brainer HOF in the PWBL), but again I don't see the longevity. Newhouser in particular is very close to HOF quality owing to his superior peak. Again though, I wouldn't have a serious argument with him making it.
