re: #153 HappyWarrior

Maddux, who won 355 games, the eighth-highest figure in Major League history, saw his name appear on 97.2 percent of the ballots, falling short of the all-time mark still held by Tom Seaver, who was elected on 98.84 percent of the vote in 1992. Glavine, who won 305 games, fourth-most among left-handers, was at 91.9 percent, and Thomas, a first baseman and designated hitter, who batted .301, hit 521 homers and amassed 1,704 RBIs in 19 seasons, 16 of them with the White Sox, finished at 83.7.

Biggio came .2% from getting into the HoF this year. I’d say he’d be in line to get in next year. The trio that made it did so as legitimate 1st ballot HoFers. Biggio falls just short of that line IMO.
