2018 BBWAA Ballot
TAKE YOUR VOTE AND RANK THEM ACCORDING TO WHO YOU BELIEVE IS WORTHY - ALSO, USE THE # THE PLAUER HAS TO THE LEFT AS THE INDICATOR USED TO LIST YOUR PICKS ((I.E. #15, #2, #5, #14, #18, #7, #1, #16 - ETC SO 10 ARE LISTED IN YOUR TOP 10, UNLESS IT MATCHES THE NAMES BELOW IN ORDER. THOUGHT SEEING WHAT FOLKS RANKED THESE GUYS AT WOULD BE A COOL THREAD TO READ))
NOTE: PETE ROSE IS MY WRITE IN FOR #1 AND THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE FOR ME!!
LET'S SEE WHAT FOLKS THINK!!

In order (since write-ins are apparently encouraged)
Yadier Molina
Don Mattingly
Buster Posey
Dick Ruthven
Joe Mauer
Everyone else who ever played the game (tied)
Pete Rose
-------------------------------
I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

Beat me to it. I was thinking of starting this thread. I LOVE this stuff. I'd say "Let the fireworks begin," but I see they already have. As I've said elsewhere, I'm over the steroid era thing, so....
My real ballot, roughly in order (and not following instructions by ignoring the numbers assigned):
Barry Bonds
Roger Clemens
Chipper Jones
Jim Thome
Trevor Hoffman
Sammy Sosa
Manny Ramirez
Mike Mussina
Curt Schilling
Vladimir Guerrero
Plus, if we're playing, I'd add Rose and Shoeless Joe, but I think those ships have sailed. When those ten get in and the steroid era backlog is gone, I vote for Edgar Martinez and maybe Sheffield.

Clemens
Bonds
Thome
Chipper
Hoffman
And please people, if you want to debate Rose for the Hall, there's legitimate arguments on both sides. BUT Shoeless Joe does not belong in the city of Cooperstown, let alone the Hall. Being complicit in throwing games (any, not just the WS) cuts to the core of the integrity of the game. The man was inner circle HOF talented, but he threw games, or at least was involved in the plan (I know he played great).
-------------------------------
A man has to have goals — for a day, for a lifetime — and that was mine, to have people say, "There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived." |

There are various forms of proof that show Shoeless Joe was not just complicit in throwing the games, but actually accepted a $5000 cash payment to do so. So, under no circumstance should he be in the Hall. I'll avoid the Rose arguement. My votes, in order, would be for:
Barry Bonds
Roger Clemens
Jim Thome
Chipper Jones
Vlad Guerrero
Curt Schilling
Billy Wagner
Mike Mussina
-------------------------------
Always looking for baseball variation/error cards and anything Garrett Whitley or Ian Anderson |

The ballot is too crowded. There's a lot of first timers that won't get close to 5% to stay on because there's too many steroid era that would otherwise already be in clogging up the max of ten votes. So either let them all in or let them all fall off (I would vote for let them all in) and let some others garner the chance for a few votes to keep them eligible.
