Did you know that prior to 2016, nobody had ever received more than 43.1% of the vote (Maris 1988) without someday being inducted? The 75% cutoff only makes it harder for eventual inductees to enjoy it. Jones deserves the call.

It's about time Andruw Jones gets in.
Hope that momentum continues!

He voted for 9 last year. Nothing really exciting here without flips or surprising votes for/against newcomers. Just a solid ballot I guess?

I’ll take it. Better than some inevitable voter trying for his “15 minutes of fame” by leaving Ichiro off his ballot for some ridiculous reasons.

Odd to me that the three people who didn't vote for Griffey and the one who didn't vote for Jeter never claimed their 15 minutes. Huge missed opportunity.
