Hall of Fame Vote - CF (March 9)
March 01, 2014 at 04:53PM View BBCode
Centerfield is a different position because we tend to identify it with speed and defense. There are less OF positions per starter on the All-Star teams and many players shift positions either to or away from the OF. I listed all players with 5 AS appearances, but tried to include anyone else who had a compelling lifetime statistic.
Vote for anyone who you think should be in the Hall of Fame
2/3 vote for election of ballots cast
2 votes gets a player to be heldover for next year's ballot
Deadline: Sunday, March 9th
