Correct. Piazza got nearly 70%.

Wow, that's a lot of moron voters not thinking Johnson and Pedro were worthy.

Pedro's ego must have taken a serious knock when seeing the Big Unit got 6% more of the vote.
I feel badly for the other guys who didn't make it this year. Many are deserving to be in with them this year.

As they've been saying on MLB Network, looks real good for Piazza in the next few years......

Biggio almost the same amount of votes as Smoltz? What a miss there, also Piazza missed by about 5%, not happy with this ballot but obviously Pedro and the Unit well deserved and Smoltz too of course. Really surprised by Biggio.

This is the first time in 60 years that the Baseball Writers' Association of America voted in four players in a single year since selecting Joe DiMaggio, Gabby Hartnett, Ted Lyons and Dazzy Vance in 1955.

I enjoyed the interview with Pedro.. Hi-lite for me was when they asked him who the toughest batter he faced in his career, and he answered Edgar Martinez..
Just watched the interviews with Smoltz and Biggio.. "Smoltz - I was knitting a sweater waiting for the call.. "

mlbn said that Johnson is the tallest player and Pedro the first to be born in the 70s to make the hof.
Pedro might be the shortest, caught that part late.

Tough to argue with any of these. Griffey Jr., Piazza, and Raines would be a nice class for 2016

Raines had a huge jump from 2014 to 2015 - I could actually see him getting in someday.

I can't argue with them but Biggio gets in and Jeff Kent gets zero love? It seem more like a popularity contest of bitter writers. This whole HOF voting needs revamping
