In the first season of Hall of Fame voting, 8 players made the ballot. Troy Harper, Steven Widger, Jeremi Warden,
Bubba Wall, Al Thompson, Orlando Javier,
Jamey Dorsey, and
Jesus Soto. One player received enough votes to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, one player received enough votes to remain on the ballot in season 11, and 6 players did not receive enough votes for anything.
18 owners voted this year, making 13 votes of yes necessary for a player to be inducted, and 9 votes of yes necessary for a player to remain on the ballot for season 11.
To nobodies surprise, Troy Harper was inducted into the Hall of Fame. The Santa Cruz first baseman received 15 votes, far more than anybody else. Orlando Javier received 10 of 18 votes, meaning he will be on the ballot again in season 11. Jeremi Warden was the next highest vote getter, with 5 votes.
Troy Harper has now been added to the Sharkey's World Hall of Fame. Orlando Javier's "resume" will be kept in this thread, for safekeeping for next season.
