The Baseball Fan's Hall of Fame Project (Update 27)
Today we have the rare double enshrinement. We will be adding Frankie Frisch and Lou Gehrig, the sixth member to receive 100%, to the Baseball Fan's Hall of Fame. Unfortunately we couldn't make it a threesome as Pud Galvin fell short of the necessary 90% required for induction. Frankly, we were rooting for a guy named Pud to get in, but that's how it goes.
Taking their places on the ballot (in the right sidebar) will be three names with which you might be familiar. They are Charlie Gehringer, Bob Gibson, and Josh Gibson. Get to votin'!
And remember our motto, "Either you're a Hall of Famer, or you're not. No gray area."
