It is good to see Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn make the Hall of Fame in style. (Although I'm not sure how anyone could vote against either of them.)
I was surprised to see Mark McGuire's name get on around 25% of the ballots. I had though he might pop up on 10% or so. I wonder if this presages him actually making it in a few years from now. There did seem to be a group of voters who think McGuire is a Hall of Famer...just not a FIRST BALLOT Hall of Famer. I think it is a silly distinction, but there it is.
