We began with the same ballot as the Hall of Fame in 2015, and have proceeded from there on. The same 75% super-majority is required for election, and players are removed from the future ballot on election here, regardless of whether or not they made it into the “real” Hall of Fame. So far, the SnakePit electorate has been in fairly close agreement with the BBWAA, with timing the main difference. This summer saw Edgar Martinez inducted, a year after he entered here, and conversely, last January, we brought in Jim Thome and Trevor Hoffman, who were already in Cooperstown.
