Talk:2009 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting

What the...?
Being well familiar with these Baseball Hall of Fame Balloting pages (I've edited them all, and created most of them between 1945 and 1995), I was quite surprised by the previous year's balloting charts. I like it, although I think it should not be used after this year's results come in. But that's just me. I mean, none of the other articles have the surrounding results displayed. But, I do find it interesting as a way to predict how it'll turn out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Masternachos (talk • contribs) 00:03, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I agree. I was the one who added the previous year's results: they give a clear indication of who's on the cusp (Rice probably, Dawson maybe). I actually think each page would benefit from showing the preceding and following year vote totals, but otherwise yeah, they should be yanked when the '09 votes come out.

I'm re-adding the table, without the apparently offensive 08 numbers. Though the reverter thought otherwise, the table does and did include only those on this year's ballot. The **only** change I believe this introduces is to make the formatting and prose parallel with previous years. --Mrflip (talk) 08:09, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, it seems the previous year's results have been removed. I think, then, that the chart is now completely useless; what is the point of a chart without any numbers? I would say get rid of it, but I'll let be resolved via democracy. Once the final ballot is announced, though, I don't see why we can't put it back. But, again, someone else can do it. --masternachos

Should we add the percentages for the VC results? --masternachos —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.8.26.10 (talk) 20:13, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

VC
As I was curious, I e-mailed the Baseball Hall of Fame. In the response that I received, they said that the pre-1943 ballot might advance its years covered when it shows up again in 2014. It might then be a pre-1948 ballot, which would then include Gil Hodges. However, he said that it might; it seems to me as though they have'nt made a decision yet. I just thought that this info should be shared. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Masternachos (talk • contribs) 22:34, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
