The ballots are counted and the results are in. This year we will witness six players added to the Hall of Fame. Ed Delahanty, Cap Anson, Jimmy Ryan, Cal McVey, Ross Barnes, and Candy Cummings received the ultimate honor this year in being voted as the newest members of the Hall of Fame.
The full voting results are included here. Players require 75% of ballots cast to be elected to the Hall, and stay on the ballot as long as they receive at least 0% of the votes. Players must be retired for 10 years before they are eligible for induction to the Hall of Fame.
