According to “This Week in SABR”, the email notification I get each weekend the 2015 Veteran’s ballot is out. Here’s the list in the order they give it:
Doc Adams, Sam Breaden, Bill Dahlen, Wes Ferrell, August “Gerry” Hermann, Marty Marion, Frank McCormick, Harry Stovey, Chris von der Ahe, Bucky Walters.
Several are holdovers from the last Segregation Era ballot but some are new. FYI and commentary to follow at some point.

Marty Marion was a favorite of my father as a kid, but he doesn’t stand a chance. Let’s be realistic.
Where is Minnie Minoso?????
I’ve had it up to here with the so-called “Hall of Fame”. Minoso BELONGS. How can anyone dispute this?????

Minnie should be on next year’s Vet’s ballot. It’s for guys whose career is mainly between 1946 and the early 1970s.

Harry Stovey! Isn’t Stovey in your little Hall of Fame? Goodness, he sure seems like a curious omission in the Hall. There was really no one like him for the time.
