He needs 75% to get into the Hall of Fame this year. He needs at least 5% to remain on the ballot for next year. What percentage do you think he'll get? The announcement will be made at 1 p.m. EST on Wednesday.

I'm guessing 48%.

The winner gets a round-trip ticket to Baltimore. The losers get a one-way ticket.

Well, good luck with that considering only 64 players have ever gotten that high of a percentage.

No, that's not what I'm saying, but it's what they will say. Consider that 33 voters didn't include Willie Mays on their ballots. Babe Ruth was left off 11 ballots. As Limey said, that's all you need to know about them.

56% this year. He goes in with Biggio and it will be the proudest day in Astros history unless they win a WS before then.

It might even be enough for McLane to retire their numbers again.

You know he would parlay it into 4 different bobble head days for each player. One in the rainbow jersey, one in the blue and gold, one in the brick and sand, and one behind the Cooperstown podium. Similar to what Round Rock did with Nolan Ryan.

Add that on to 2 separate days where they each show up for some presentation.
