Mason Hayter is like our Dale Murphy... Most of his career he was simply above average but boy did he shine for 3 seasons.
Yeah Hayter looked like a HOF lock, until he suddenly didn't anymore at all
Yeah I'm noticing this as well while trying to get my ballot submitted
Does anyone have any automatic HOF vote stats and what's the number for AFBL yet?
I mostly rank by JAWS and go down the list, but I evaluate based on awards, other stats, etc. So no cut and dried triggers.
I first narrow down list using minimum of 10/100/40 for Black Ink/Gray Ink/HoF Standards. Then look at everything else to see if I should drop or add anyone from/to that list based on other factors.
I automatically vote for anyone with 10 awards. There are a bunch with 9 right now that I've had to weigh. I figure if you go to 9 or 10 All-Star games, then you were the best at your position during your era.
I rank on jaws and Hall of Fame standards Then I look at counting stats, But I also follow @chappy and look at awards tho for if Iâm on the edge but All star Games are still somewhat of lets vote for my team
We'll have at least 2 added to our HOF with a potential of 2 more pending the final ballots. Definitely in are:
Congrats to the 2048 HOF Class:
Looks like I need to fix a few guy's hats in the S+ HOF page. I'll get that updated tonight too.
is there any way to see how long guys have been on the balot in the results?
3 ballots to be submitted and we have 4 players that are right on the line to get into the HOF
anybody guaranteed admission yet? (you donât have to tell us who; donât want to spoil ballots)
No no one is guaranteed in yet. 1 player is over the 75% but barely so they'll need to be on at least 1 ballot I think to get in
injuries had him fall off faster than Iâd have liked but when he was healthy in his 20s he was real good
congrats to calhoun, he was always getting votes, but never quite enough...
one of the few players to play with 3 or more teams throughout his afbl career, most players are 1 or 2 club players it seems
Rosenbothan comes short again. He's one of the more borderline guys I've voted for. He was so dominant from 2024-2029.
Rosebotham has had my votes but yeah just can't quite get over that 75%
yeah I was hoping Juliao and Salas would go in together. Both on the team of the decade from the 30s
It's probably because I look at numbers vs everyone at their position when I vote. So even though a guy like Ogai Tsuji has way better numbers than Stan Turner, I see Tsuji wasn't among the best 1B while he was active. However, Stan Turner was one of the best RF of his era, 8 time All-Star, 4 time Gold Glove winner, and heck of a nice guy.
It's also harder for 1-dimensional players to get my vote. 500 HR but a .250 average won't impress me.
I wasnât going to vote for Nate Simpson until I realized itâs the Nate Simpson who spent his entire career in Oregon. So Iâll go ahead and add him since Iâm not at 10. đ
rats, I messed up my ballot (and submitted it). @AFBL Commish can you reset me? Just for HOF.
With 13 of the possible 19 ballots so far, we'll have 2 new members added to the AFBL HOF. Both look to be mostly locks.
poor guibert, wonder if he'll ever get in, or was that his final year??

Right now both players are in but it'll depend on final ballot(s) before we close voting later today
If I use last yearâs voting then one of them is definitely getting in I think even without opening the voting panel yet lol Because Iâm gonna vote for him
Empty ballot? Did somebody let Clap back in?

second year in a row I had to leave off some guys who meet my standards. We need to clear some of this backlog.
Looks like we'll get 1 player joining the AFBL HOF pending any final ballots
Not sure why the game picked the Alabama logo instead of the West Virginia logo. Did the same initially for his picture but he never played in Alabama. /shrug
We're adopting him. We take any moral victories we can get these days

how many years do guys stay on the ballot for? Ron Davis is up to 14 years!!
i assume it's 15 years given a few hitters are on for the 15th year
as long as they get the minimum to stay on. I can look up what those are again soon.
18 ballots cast for 2058. AFBL welcomes Jimmy Williams to its hall-of-fame.
Wooohoo! Big day for former lions! đŠ

Georgia Titans salute Jose Cervantes and his final HOF ballot appearance. Jose has the highest career OBP for any player not already in the HOF. Elite on-base skills and gap power and deficiencies on defense were the hallmarks of his career. The very definition of a fringe HOF career.
Raul Hernandez was a power hitting SS (400 HRs) but limited defensive value. He was able to play capable defense, covering a difficult position with a strong bat. We feel his true value far exceeds his WAR.
