DTFC Hall Of Fame Voting Results Announced
.c The Disassociated Press
EARLSBORO (DP) -- In the second round of voting for the DTFC Hall of Fame only one player recieved the required 90% of the vote for induction. However,six players recieved 75% or more of the vote, the minimum for induction in all future rounds of voting.
"This means I only have one new player to make web pages for," exclaimed one source working closely on the project who wished not to be identified.
The new member of the DTFC HoF is Sandy Koufax, who was listed on 18 of 19 ballots, garnishing 95% of the vote. Satchel Paige was just one vote short of the required 90% with 17 votes and 89%.
There now appears to be a movement within the DTFC to induct all 6 players that recieved 75% of the vote. This would lead to the induction of Eddie Mathews, Roberto Clemente, Jackie Robinson, and Ernie Banks in addition to Koufax and Paige.
Josh Gibson and Mel Ott were just short of the 75% threshold and would have to be considered early favourites for induction in the next round of voting.
