Around SBN: Mets Fans Say Good-Bye To Shea Stadium Bar-right-arrows

Goose Gets the Call

Aa_avatar_tiny by Eric Simon on in Awards

Goose Gossage was named on 86% of this year's BBWAA Hall of Fame ballots, more than the requisite 75% necessary for induction. Nobody else made the cut, though Jim Rice appeared on 72.2% of ballots.

Bert Blyleven received around 62% support and Tim Raines received a disappointing 24%.

Hall Vote
Kudos on finally electing Goose. A wag of the finger on Rice & Blyleven. And WTF were they thinking with Raines? He should have been a first-ballot shoo-in. Just proves that 10 years membership in the BWAA doesn't mean intelligence. (Somebody voted for Todd Stottlemyre? Shawn Dunston? Chuck Knoblauch? David Justice? I want some of what they're smoking.
Let's Go Mets!

To their credit, nobody voted for Brady Anderson.
