I can't argue with these results. Should I be surprised as I am that Tim Raines is only get that many votes? Probably not. But I am shocked at how few votes Harold Baines received. Baines hit .296/.378/.478...from ages 31 to 40. He was a superb hitter, and he had my vote. But again, it's all subjective.

Oddly enough I voted for ten guys, not realizing (because I read too fast, or not closely enough, or not at all) that I could have cut my vote off whenever I chose. That would have drastically changed my ballot, which looked like this:

  1. Blyleven
  2. Larkin
  3. Baines
  4. Mattingly
  5. Murphy
  6. McGwire
  7. Parker
  8. Morris
  9. Martinez
  10. Alomar

In retrospect, only three or four would have gotten my vote. Check here for SB Nation's full list of results.
