The Vet format changed again---now only 63 living baseball Hall of
Famers (players) vote not the 84 previously which included
broadcasters and execs.
On induction weekend ,7/27/2008,some committee of the 63 will decide
on ballot of 25--then in Sept--it will be reduced to 10--final ballot--
which will be sent out in Nov/Dec--We will know results even before
2009 rolls in.
As you know Dick Williams & Walter O'Malley were elected for 2008
induction.

Last year Santo-Kaat-Oliva---all were in Gil's range & all fell short.

48 votes needed for election-----with reduced ballot hopefully Vet
Committee will elect someone, no one since 2001, hopefully GIL.

For the record even with recent void the old vet committee has put in
more in Hall than the Baseball writers.
