National Baseball Hall of Fame - Hall of Fame Election Results for 2001Here are the official voting results. Deshaies got his one vote. It's too bad Lou Whitaker and Tom Henke didn't stay on the ballot a bit longer. They are better players than Keith Hernandez and Dave Stewart, well at least Dave Stewart.
I was looking at
next year's newcomers to the ballot and I would say that Ozzie Smith is the only certainty on that list. Maybe Carter and Rice do get in then. Jim Rice should do all right in a comparison with Andre Dawson.
2003: Murray and Sandberg
2004: Eckersley and Molitor
2005: Wade Boggs and maybe Chili Davis
