On Wednesday, 18 January 2017, the Baseball Writers Association of America finished their voting for this year’s selection of players to enter the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Dominican slugger Vladimir Guerrero just missed out, earning 71.7% of the votes and falling short by a little over 3%. Only Jeff Bagwell, Tim Raines and Ivan Rodriguez received more than 75% of the votes from the baseball writers.
Guerrero who spent 16 years in the Big Leagues had 2590 base hits, 1496 RBIs, 1328 runs scored, 449 home runs, 477 doubles and an OPS of .931. Many baseball observers thought that Vladimir Guerrero would make the Hall of Fame this year, his first year on the list of possible candidates – only Ivan (Pudge) Rodriguez made the Hall of Fame on his first try. Jeff Bagwell appeared for the seventh time on the ballot and Tim Raines got in on his 10th try.
