A year ago, a record five players were elected to our White Sox Hall of Fame.

This time around, while three players made a hard charge at induction, only one could hold on.

Legendary White Sox hurler Ted Lyons qualified for induction by a single vote (832 were cast).

Robin Ventura (73.5%) and Wilbur Wood (68.4%) fell just short of induction.

Lyons got out of the gate fast, polling at 95% early. But after a flurry of votes late last week, he fell below the 75% threshold, and it looked like our White Sox HOF would duplicate the earlier vote that saw no current players elected to Cooperstown.
