Edgar Martinez is going to Cooperstown. I’m early with this; I don’t know the final ballot total, and I’m writing this days before the announcement. But the vote trend this year is striking, and there’s essentially no way he can fail to reach 75% of the vote at this point. I’m on record as saying that Edgar would eventually get in, but only because of a veteran’s committee or whatever they replace it with. The early years of Edgar’s candidacy showed a bit of promise, but also just how daunting the task would be: Edgar would need to change the mind of around half of the voters.
Edgar for Eternity
