For the first time since 1989, West African Baseball didn’t add a player into its Hall of Fame. Two debuting players led the 1997 ballot, but fell short of the 66% requirement. SP Moussa Sidi ended up with 57.4% and SP Issaka Camara had 56.6%. The top returner was CF Stephen Tshukudu at 56.6% on his eight try. That was the highest mark yet for Tshukudu, whose previous best was 52.4% in 1994. No one else was above 50% and no players were dropped after making it on ten ballots.
