Elect-2 / Elect-3
Rob Neyer makes an easy case that on the 2015 ballot, if the Holy Writers get their way, they’ll have 21 outstanding players eligible for the Hall of Fame. That you can make a strong to a rock-solid case for each and every one. That’s what happens if you only vote in one player at a time, when you should be voting in two or three at a time. Holdovers start to get in the way.
Let me present it in another way. These are the best players, by birth year, starting in 1958. Note that by the logic of time, the number of players selected by birth year will match the number of players selected by voting year. By presenting the data this way, we can make a good guess as to how many players we should be selecting per year, as well as being able to peer far ahead into the future.
