Before we begin, I'd like to mention to those reading that if you're not yet a voter and would like to be, please let me know. You can join any time!

Also, if you haven't been following Coffeyville Whirlwind, Scot continues to do bios for our electees.

22 voters plunked down ballot this time around. 17 votes were needed for election, and 6 votes were needed to avoid eternal shame. Three players had one final chance to get elected.

 

With 77% of the vote, Dan Brouthers is a first-ballot Half-Baked-Haller. Will Kent Hrbek be able to say the same?

 

 

 

 

First in war, first in peace, first time National to be elected. With 82% of the vote, Delahanty gets his face immortalized.

 

The first three people who submitted a ballot all told Kid to take a hike, but the final 19 ballots told him to have a giant lollipop and welcomed him into the Half-Baked Hall. With 86% of the vote, Nichols pulls down the highest vote total yet for an electee.

Remaining On The Ballot (17 Players)

Not a lot of movement for these guys. Glasscock remains close to election and McGraw had an excellent first showing. King Kelly continues his seesaw between 55 and 65 percent and has one more ballot to win election. In fact, six of the players below will be on the bubble for next election.
