Maybe the leftfielder thread won’t be posted until after the SDMB upgrades are completed next week.  
[/QUOTE]

At this point it would be better to wait for the new server to be up.

Use the time to contemplate your position on Joe Jackson.

What can I say, I’ve been moving.

I will wait until after the new server is up, which will probably take at least a week, but then the ballot will be nicely done, and I’ll have time to start the pitchers’ ballots.

Okay! Okay! I’m sorry. 🙂

Thanks everyone for all your votes. Here, with no more undue delay, are your Hall of Fame picks for center field:

Willie Mays  
Joe DiMaggio (a nation turns its lonely eyes to him)  
Mickey Mantle  
Ken Griffey, Jr.  
Ty Cobb  
Tris Speaker  
Duke Snider  
Larry Doby  
Billy Hamilton  
Richie Ashburn  
This was by far the LEAST close vote in the SDMB HoF’s first seven ballots; the tenth place finisher was Rich Ashburn, who had more votes than the two guys tied for eleventh combined.

The left fielder’s ballot will be up soon and I will post a link here.

Thank you all very much!

Wow, it is kind of nice to be 10 for 10 and almost the same order.

Thanks again **RickJay**.
