Kevin Brown in the Hall of Fame...really? Oh wait there is a stat for that!

Seriously it is like Hall of Fame voting is the new iphone! Want to find a way to get your favorite player into the hall of fame...there is a stat for that!

Kevin Brown was amazing. I thought he was great and worthy before I saw the WARP3 numbers. Its an example of my gut thinking he was awesome and being backed up by some sabermetrics.

Announcement is at 2 pm. Peter Gammons on MLB Network just mentioned his ballot this year: Alomar, Blyleven, Dawson, Larkin, Raines, Trammell, McGwire.

No arguments here with that group.

I'd like to see Martinez in the place of Dawson. Besides that, it's an awesome ballot. Unlike Buster Olney voting for Morris and not Blyleven.

Nick DiPaolo is guest hosting the Dan Patrick show today. Now he's discussing who should be in the Hall. It's a riot.

Great show today, other than Tom Arnold being on it.

Unbelievable. HOF Epic Fail. The best 2B since Joe Morgan doesn't make it in.

Move over Rice, there's a guy trying to steal your worst recent induction award.

Nice bump for Morris. Over 50 percent this year.

He's going to have to make a huge leap. But it happened for Rice.

Marginal candidates everywhere are gleeful with Dawson's induction. It lowers the bar substantially for the future.

One which belonged to Jay Marriotti.

Who voted for Bert last year but inexplicably didn't this year.

Let's back up to a more important question here.

Jay Marriotti gets a baseball hall of fame vote?

And a well-deserved one. He's added so much to baseball over the years........okay, I'm sorry. I can't do that with a straight face.
