1924 Hall of Fame voting
After back-to-back seasons with no one reaching the 66% threshold for the MLB Hall of Fame, two were elected for the 1924 class. Shortstop Dave Douglas made it on his third try at 71.4% and pitcher Tom Guillaume narrowly made the cut on his seventh effort at 67.0%. Closer Dan Wagner and first baseman Chad Tepp both hit 60% on their first time on the ballot. Early days MVP George Cull on his eighth try had his highest number yet, but still short at 59.7%.
Meanwhile, CABA’s Hall of Fame had existed for a few seasons but no one had come close yet in the limited history to the threshold. That is, until 1924 when pitcher Baptiste Timothee earned the distinction as the first Hall of Famer for the Central American Baseball Association.
