The Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) reveal the results of their Hall of Fame voting Tuesday night at 6 PM EST on MLB Network. The Hall of Fame vote tracker shows 47% of the ballots revealed, with Todd Helton leading at 80% of the votes and Scott Rolen at 79%. I find it a bit surprising that Helton is ahead of Rolen. Over the years, the people who make their ballots public tend to be “Big Hall” voters, so if either of these candidates make the 75% threshold, I suspect it will be by a hair.

It also appears that Carlos Beltran and Francisco Rodriguez will be the only first year players to remain on the ballot.
