Dwight Evans does not get elected to the Hall of Fame

The Winter Meetings unofficially got underway Sunday night (they officially start on Monday, but everyone gets in on Sunday), and the first big event of the week was the announcement of the Modern Baseball Era Hall of Fame inductees. This is a group of players (plus Marvin Miller) who played from 1970-1987. Among the nine players (again, plus Marvin Miller), the one of specific note to us was Dwight Evans. There are 16 members on the committee who ultimately cast their ballots here. Each can vote for up to four candidates, and a candidate must get 12 votes to make it.
