VOTE: Time Warp HOF Ballot 1957

1936 Initial Ballot Results, 1937 Results, 1938 Results, 1939 Results, 1940 Results,
1941 Results, 1942 Results, 1943 Results, 1944 Results, 1945 Results,
1946 Results, 1947 Results, 1948 Results, 1949 Results, 1950 Results,
1951 Results, 1952 Results, 1953 Results, 1954 Results, 1955 Results,
1956 Results



Just one player was elected to the RL HOF in 1957: Wahoo Sam Crawford.


All players who received at least 5% of votes on the last ballot were retained for this ballot. I also added players who became eligible for the ballot in 1957 (retired after 1951 season).

All players not receiving 5% of votes on this ballot will be removed. Also, all players who have been retired for 20 years fall off this ballot if not elected.

Vote for as many or as few as you want. Max votes are 10.

HOF Standard: 50 is considered an average HOF'er. 100 is max.

PLEASE NOTE:
Players who lost service time to the war are denoted with: WWII

Just a quick note:

First, Bob Bussmann was supposed to be on last yr's ballot but I left him off. John, and I think JT, has chronicled some of his story - being screwed by the Sox early in his career. But man, that 65% winning % is pretty impressive.


And you may or may not remember Dan Troge, but he took over as Cubs 1B when Cookie Parrish left with the illness that eventually killed him. He helped lead the town & the team to the glory of 3 straight pennants before being the *first* major league to enlist right after Pearl Harbor. He lost a lot of his prime years to the war, but he was (and is) much-loved in the Windy City. After retiring, he returned to the military as a pilot & flew missions in Korea. What a cool guy he was, and a patriot.

EDIT: And I still say Mosich looks like Robert DeNiro.

I'm not sure why I should care that Troge re-enlisted to fight in Korea after he retired. Sure, it's nice that he did that for his country, but it doesn't add or take away from anything he did on the field, unlike his time spent in WWII. I suppose it would make me feel better about him as a person and that would influence voters in real life, but it's hard for me to make that jump in a SIM league about a player I really didn't care too much about in the first place.

My last vote was a very tough battle betw Hung, Skjerly & Mickelsen. Hung had the excellent AVG plus R and SB. Skjerly all the WS. And Mickelsen was all over the offensive leaderboards.

I'm not sure why I should care that Troge re-enlisted to fight in Korea after he retired. Sure, it's nice that he did that for his country, but it doesn't add or take away from anything he did on the field, unlike his time spent in WWII. I suppose it would make me feel better about him as a person and that would influence voters in real life, but it's hard for me to make that jump in a SIM league about a player I really didn't care too much about in the first place.
Maybe it matters to some? I kind of liked it, adds a bit of character to a player that in many leagues woudl exists.

It wont help him at all in my voting, but it's a nice touch

Schwarz - I'll just keep trying to get him the minimum to stay on the ballot one more year. 8 gold gloves and fourth all-time in homers, as a catcher.

Bud Breckenridge is running at 70% in early returns... don't make me start beating the drum for him again.

Something to add to Jimmy Ditty....even though it looks like he's getting the support.

Not only did he go to WWII for 4 years, but he left at 29 and came back at 33.....years certain to be his peak.

I think you can honestly pit him down for an average of .300 AVG, 165 Hits, 30 2b, 4 3b, 30 HR, 100 RBI and 90 Runs in each those years

That would put him at nearly 3000 Hits, 500 2b, 65 3b, 420 HR, 1750 RBI and 1540 Runs.

....and don't forget, he married Marilyn Monroe. Are there Mr. Coffee commercials in his future?
