    Never forget watching the Braves years ago when Skip Carey would say that there were 1000's of fans there disguised as empty seats.

    I'm going to guess 84%. The HOF writers always come up with some BS reason to not vote for a player.

    Even Babe Ruth didn't get 100% of the vote.

    The media should not vote on the HOF. It should be 100% former players.

    Amen Todd! Agree 100% if hank Aaron and babe Ruth didn?t get 100% it?s messed up. Tom Seaver had the highest percentage at 98 til Griffey got 99.

    I miss skip and pete. I grew up listening to them on am radio back in 70s. We lived in country no cable so I listened to them. Great memories of some really bad teams.

    I say 95%

    If the kid wasn't unanimous, no way Chipper will be.

    56% of the votes have been counted. Chipper is at 98.3 percent. This could be a huge class if voting holds, of course lot of votes left to count but here are the ones right now with enough votes to be inducted:

    Chipper Jones - 98.3
    Vlad Guererro - 95.0
    Jim Thome - 93.3
    Trevor Hoffman - 78.6
    Edgar Martinez - 77.3

    Long way to go yet.

    Chipper was one of the smartest hitters to ever play. Prolly the smartest of his time...maybe second to bonds. Loved watching him play.

    However, as fun as he was to watch on the diamond he's equally as cringeworthy on his hunting show he does nowadays.

    Have to agree. One of my favorite players of all time. Watched his show a couple of times and you're right cringeworthy is the best way to describe it.

    Damn, it's a weak class this year minus Larry Wayne.

    Don't forget about his defense.

    Speaking of Bonds, i heard somewhere if you were to take all of Bonds' homeruns and turn them into Ks, he would still have fewer strikeouts than Alex Rodriguez. Just a fun fact for you. Dude was one of the best hitters of all time.

    Other than Brooks Robinson, Chipper was the best I ever saw at charging slow rollers and bunts and making that off balance throw for the out. He had a dang strong arm too, especially when he was younger. Chipper would boot a routine grounder every now and then. Watching the Braves hasn't been the same since Larry Wayne retired.
