NOBODY MADE THE IPA HALL OF FAME THIS YEAR
The modern-day IPA player doesn't have the numbers as in the days of old. It is getting harder and harder to make the Hall of Fame.
Pitcher William Pike came as close and you could get and not make it. There are a lot of rock-solid ballplayers, but none of them are Hall of Fame quality.
The ballots are counted and the results are in. Unfortunately, no player was elected to the Hall of Fame this year. The top vote getter was William Pike, who received votes from 74.9% of eligible electors.
The full voting results are included here. Players require 75% of ballots cast to be elected to the Hall, may stay on the ballot for up to 10 years if they receive at least 5% of the votes. Players must be retired for 3 years before they are eligible for induction to the Hall of Fame.
