2009 Hall of Fame Ballot

Here’s the official ballot (links open up their baseball-reference page):

• Harold Baines

• Jay Bell

• Bert Blyleven

• David Cone

• Andre Dawson

• Ron Gant

• Mark Grace

• Rickey Henderson

• Tommy John

• Don Mattingly

• Mark McGwire

• Jack Morris

• Dale Murphy

• Jesse Orosco

• Dave Parker

• Dan Plesac

• Tim Raines

• Jim Rice

• Lee Smith

• Alan Trammell

• Greg Vaughn

• Mo Vaughn

• Matt Williams

Quick Thoughts:

Obviously Rickey is going to get in (and hopefully give an amazing speech), but beyond that I hope that Blyleven finally makes the cut though reading people like John Harper and Joel Sherman all year makes me doubt it (but no worries they’ll vote for Jim Rice) and that Tim Raines gets some serious attention. Mark McGuire is a no brainer but he’ll have to wait until everyone stops being so righteous about steroid use.

Additionally people need to stop voting for Jack Morris already.
