Congrats to Andrew Dawson, who was elected to the Hall of Fame today.
Bert Blyleven and Roberto Alomar just missed, although both will get in next year.

Boo to those who actually used their votes on guys like Hentgen and Segui. What an embarrassment.
HOF candidates need to reach 75% for enshrinement. Barry Larkin looks like he’ll get in one day and the controversial Edgar Martinez, who I’m a fan of, especially after spending some time in Seattle, seems like he has a legitimate shot, as well. If you were hoping Don Mattingly would one day reach the Hall, sorry to say, that’s not going to happen.
