Edgar Martinez, Hall of Fame #EdgarHOF and those who need a nudge




Here is a short list of Names and Twitter Handles of Voters who have publicly stated they did not vote for Edgar Martinez in 2012 (it is not a complete list of the 300+ who did not vote for him.

If you contact them, I suggest being nice....they will not vote for Edgar if you are dismissive and rude to them.

Simply point out to them the many facts about Edgar...such as...

Only 15 players (including Edgar) have a lifetime BA of over .300, a lifetime OBP of over .400, and a lifetime SLG of over .500. Of those 15 retired players, 13 are in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Only Shoeless Joe Jackson and Edgar Martinez are not.

Only 6 Players are in the .300/.400/.500/2000/300/500/1000 club.
With a batting average of .300 or more, on-base percentage of .400 or more, a slugging percentage of .500 or more, 2000 hits, 300 home runs, 500 doubles, and 1000 walks.

Those 6 players are
Ted Williams
