He was part of that era but so was Ripken, and Gwynn and they were both first ballots

Cal pulled down 97%

I'm just saying with the writers, seems like everyone acts as if they're entitled to something.

some of them said they cast blank ballots with Cal, like are you kidding? this man was all natural lanky 180 rookie, never changed lol

best SS to grace the game? possibly

There is one write who never casts a vote, so no one ever gets 100% of the votes, just because Babe Ruth didn't get 100% of the votes lol.

the top player of all time is tom seaver who had 98.84%, the second is nolan ryan, and the third is ripken, who received 98.53% of the votes, ahead of ty cobb and eight spots above babe ruth who "only" received 95.13% of the votes..

the next SS on the list is honus wager... tied with babe at 95.13%

LOL that infamous card! the T206
