Nice job **RickJay**.

Please do us a favor and throw the link to the 1b thread in here. Many of us use the \*\*User CP \*\* button often. We have a decent mix of older catchers at least.

Another thread will soon be posted on the First Baseman’s Ballot.

Thank you for starting the SDMB Baseball Hall of Fame!

Are you going to put Rod Carew in with the 1B or 2B?

Here is the link to the First Baseman’s ballot.

Lamar, I have listed Carew as a first baseman, since he played more games there, but it’s an open ballot and technically you can vote for him there or at second. It is entirely up to the voters.

There will also be wild card rounds where we might pick off some of the multi-position stars.
