Hall of Fame Welcomes 6
Tom Groovine and Dirk Lindros were elected to the Hall of Fame today, with each receiving 100% of the required votes. This was no surprise as Groovine won more than 300 games while Lindros hit over 600 homeruns.
Joining them with 75% of are catcher Bruce Berano on his first ballot, 1B/3B John Conner, OF Damon Nkik, and the first elf elected to the Hall, outfielder Sithas Kawasaki.
The following players received votes and will remain on the 2019 ballot, which will be out within a few weeks:
Jerry Tugwell
Sammy Swopa
Leon Wolf
Jake Decker
Alex Salazar
In addition, Yoda received a write in vote. Yoda managed for 10 seasons in Orlando, including the team's only championship year, and three years for the Florida Penguins. He is currently the general manager of the Penguins, and while he would be eligible as a manager, the league will not place him on the ballot while he remains active as a GM.
The following players did not receive votes and will no longer be considered on future ballots:
Vern Terrell
Monty Harmon
Shazeem Abdul-Mustafa
Stephon Jameson
Sid Rubin
Troy Everett
Paul Williamson

I am honored to be honored but I am disappointed Troy Everett failed to get even one vote to acknowledge his amazing career. I 100% blame fat yoda for failing to inform the voters of the full magnitude and context of Troy’s career. Troy is #2 all-time in saves and fat yoda didn’t even mention it. Then there is the fact that he made an error in his report of Troy’s 2004 season when he struckout 151 batters. These ommissions and misreporting should warrant Troy remaining on the ballot.
Troy was an amazing teammate and there is no one I’d want on the mound to close out a game besides Troy. His not making the Hall of Fame is unbelievable and essentially means no closer should be. But his dropping off the ballot is a complete utter travesty.
No me gusta el nuevo proceso de votación. Quitar mi voto es opresión y discriminatoria.
