No former player reached 75% in the BBWAA voting for the Hall of Fame. Here is the BBWAA vote tally. Curt Schilling topped the list at 71.1%, but has asked to be taken off the ballot:
“I will not participate in the final year of voting. I am requesting to be removed from the ballot. I’ll defer to the veterans committee and men whose opinions actually matter and who are in a position to actually judge a player,” Schilling wrote. “I don’t think I’m a hall of famer as I’ve often stated but if former players think I am then I’ll accept that with honor.”

I am actually a bit surprised someone like Scott Rolen didn’t make it, or that Andruw Jones didn’t get more support. I really wonder if the writers thought last year’s class should have a stage to themselves.
Hey David, I didn’t see if you posted about the Internet Baseball Hall of Fame. Is that voting done? It would be interesting to see if the vote was different. I know Barry Larkin is not in. Maybe they vote Schilling in?
Ryan,
Sorry I didn’t see this earlier. I’ve been very busy and probably missed the email. I’ll dig it up and see what happened.
David
They did not elect anyone either. Schilling was at the top at 65%.
