Finally voted today, sorry for the delay. Filled out the ballot a couple times yesterday but couldn't pull the trigger, because, hey, I obsess about fake hall of fames. No biggie.

[Clay]

Lot of arms in this class.

Good job everyone in getting your votes in!

[Clay]

Yeah, good job everyone.

So.... now.... hats?

Cleary a Guide or Mohawk?

Lewis?

Piglet is obviously a Playboy... is McEvoy as well?

[Z]

Cleary is a Guide.

Lewis is tough. I'm going with Pittsburgh. He had his best seasons and won a Pale Ale there. A 2.24 ERA in that ballpark was amazing.

McEvoy is definitely a Playboy.

[Jistic]

Yeah, good job everyone.

Lewis?

McEvoy...well you already know my thoughts.

Lewis I think has to be a Bat. That's what I think of when I remember him.

[Clay]

McEvoy...well you already know my thoughts.

Lewis I think has to be a Bat. That's what I think of when I remember him.

I think of him as a Bat too, but I assumed it was because we're rivals. You can make a great case for Pittsburgh.

[Jistic]

You can make a great case for Pittsburgh.

Oh the irony.

Cleary a guide. McEvoy a Playboy.

I'm biased obviously, but I think Lewis goes wearing a D.C. cap. Five seasons in Washington, 3.5 in Pittsburgh. He went to two All-Star games in Pittsburgh, three All-Star games in Washington. He won a Brewmaster's with the Bats in 1988, a post-season in which he saved six of the teams 12 wins. He also lead the entire BLB in saves that season with 46. If he had started his career in Pittsburgh and didn't spend his first 3.5 seasons in Los Lunas, he'd go in as a Miller.

3.5 seasons in Los Lunas. 3.5 seasons in Pittsburgh. 5 seasons in Washington (granted, his final year was cut short due to injury). 1 Season in Indy. After looking at the stats again, I think his hat order actually should be: DC, Los Lunas and then Pittsburgh. His numbers for the Javelinas are very impressive and he won a title, like he did in D.C.

I remember Lewis as a Bat.

Cleary as a Guide.
