He would have the highest ERA in the Hall by .10 points if elected. His ERA was 3.90 and the current highest ERA is 3.80. Not saying he does or doesn't deserve it.

Has anyone seen the %'s posted anywhere? I am interested to see if anyone else made a move up the ballot for future years.

I thought you were bandededededed.

So does this mean B. Larkin is the only inductee this year? How sweet, if so.

http://espn.go.com/mlb/hof12/story/_/id/7443141/ex-cincinnati-reds-great-barry-larkin-elected-baseball-hall-fame
Former Cincinnati Reds shortstop and current ESPN analyst Barry Larkin was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Monday, getting 86.4 percent of the vote by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
A player needs at least 75 percent to gain election. A 12-time All-Star and the 1995 NL MVP, Larkin got 62.1 percent of the vote last year, falling 75 votes short as Roberto Alomar and Bert Blyleven were elected

I grew up playing shortstop only because of Larkin. I wanted to be like him so bad. So pumped for Barry and the reds!!

I am pretty sure that I could hit it into the left field seats at old Tigers stadium. Disclaimer: Not from Michigan and not a Tigers fan.

Neat. There are no open rooms within an hour drive. I plan on camping.
