ORG A ROUND THE H ORN, PAGE 2 THE VOTING ELECTORATE: A total of 549 ballots were cast by BBWAA voters in 2015, marking the 13th time that more than 500 ballots have been cast: (also: 515-2001; 506-2004; 516-2005; 520-2006; 545-2007; 543-2008; 539-2009; 539-2010; 581-2011; 573-2012; 569-2013; 571-2014)… A record 581 ballots were cast in the 2011 election…Voting privileges are extended to those BBWAA members meeting their organization’s Hall of Fame voting qualifications and in good standing with the BBWAA…Voters can select from zero to 10 names on their Hall of Fame ballot…Votes on 75 percent of all ballots cast are necessary for election. CREDIT AN ASSIST: Thanks to the firm of Ernst and Young for its assistance in verifying the vote, year-in and year-out. CAREFUL SELECTION: 2015 marked the 71st Hall of Fame election held by the BBWAA…Starting in 1936, the BBWAA has elected someone 63 times and on eight occasions it did not elect anyone (1945, 1946, 1950, 1958, 1960, 1971, 1996, 2013)…On nine occasions, no election was held (1940, 1941, 1943, 1944, 1957, 1959, 1961, 1963, 1965)….The BBWAA membership has elected from zero to five candidates in each of its 71 elections…As quantified in the chart below, the BBWAA has voted in one player more than any other quantity (26 times). ELECTED TIMES LAST CLASS 5 1 1936 Cobb, Johnson, Mathewson, Ruth, Wagner 4 3 2015 Biggio, Johnson, Martinez, Smoltz 3 8 2014 Glavine, Maddux, Thomas 2 25 2011 Alomar, Blyleven 1 26 2012 Larkin 0 8 2013 ----- FANTASTIC FOUR: For the first time since 1955 and just the third time in 71 Hall of Fame elections, the Baseball Writers’ Association of America has elected four candidates in one year…The last time four candidates crossed the 75-percent threshold in a BBWAA election was in 1955 when Joe DiMaggio, Gabby Hartnett, Ted Lyons and Dazzy Vance were elected…The only other election to feature four BBWAA electees (excluding the inaugural election in 1936, which featured five electees) came in 1947 when Mickey Cochrane, Frankie Frisch, Lefty Grove and Carl Hubbell were elected. SIX AT FIRST: The election of Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz marked the second year in a row that three first- ballot electees cleared the 75-percent mark…In 2014, Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and Frank Thomas were elected in their first year on the BBWAA ballot…Only once before – in 1999 with George Brett, Nolan Ryan and Robin Yount – has the BBWAA elected three first-ballot candidates in one year…The former record for most first-ballot Hall of Famers elected in consecutive years was four, set in 1989-90 with Johnny Bench, Carl Yastrzemski, Joe Morgan and Jim Palmer…Fifty players have now earned election to the Hall of Fame in their first year eligible. SEVEN-UP: The BBWAA has elected seven Hall of Fame candidates in two years, the most in any two-year span since seven players were elected from 1954-55: Bill Dickey, Rabbit Maranville and Bill Terry in 1954 and Joe DiMaggio, Gabby Hartnett, Ted Lyons and Dazzy Vance in 1955…The most BBWAA electees in any two-year span (8) came in 1936-37 with Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Babe Ruth and Honus Wagner in 1936 and Nap Lajoie, Tris Speaker and Cy Young in 1937. K KINGS: Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez rank No. 1 and 3, respectively, on the all-time strikeouts-per-nine-innings-pitched list…Johnson is the all-time leader with an average of 10.61 strikeouts-per-nine-innings, while Martinez averaged 10.04 strikeouts- per-nine innings…Kerry Wood ranks No. 2 on the list with 10.32 strikeouts-per-nine-innings, the only other pitcher in history (among qualifiers) to reach the double-digit mark…Among the Top 10 pitchers on that list, only Nolan Ryan (9.55) and Sandy Koufax (9.23) are Hall of Famers, but no other member of the Top 10 was eligible for the Hall of Fame (all are either active or recently retired) until Johnson and Martinez became eligible this year…Since 1974, either Ryan (1973-93) or Johnson (1994 through present) have held the all-time career record for K/9 IP…Since 1987, the only four pitchers (among qualifiers) to hold the single-season K/9IP mark have been Ryan (1987-94), Johnson (1995-97), Wood (1998), Martinez (1999-2000) and Johnson again (2001 through present after striking out 13.41 batters per nine innings in 2001). SAVING UP: John Smoltz is the only pitcher in big league history with at least 200 wins and 150 saves, and only Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley joins Smoltz on the list of pitchers with at least 150 wins and 150 saves…Among pitchers with at least 200 wins who pitched since 1969 when saves became an official statistic, only Smoltz (154 saves) and Charlie Hough (61 saves) have as many as 50 saves. HIT AND RUN: Craig Biggio is one of just 11 players in big league history with at least 3,000 career hits and 1,800 career runs scored…Eight of the other 10 are in the Hall of Fame: Ty Cobb, Hank Aaron, Stan Musial, Tris Speaker, Carl Yastrzemski, Eddie Collins, Willie Mays and Rickey Henderson…The final two members of that list are Derek Jeter (not yet eligible for the Hall of Fame) and Pete Rose. YEAR OF THE PITCHER: The election of Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz marked the first time that three pitchers have been elected by the BBWAA in the same year…The inaugural election of 1936 saw Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson and Babe Ruth elected to the Hall of Fame, but Ruth – owner of 94 big league wins – was elected as an outfielder…The last time three former big league pitchers were elected to the Hall of Fame in the same year by any method was 1992 when the BBWAA tabbed Tom Seaver and Rollie Fingers and the Veterans Committee elected Hal Newhouser. BASEBALLHALL. ORG A ROUND THE H ORN, PAGE 3 VIVA REPUBLIC! Pedro Martinez becomes just the second native of the Dominican Republic elected to the Hall of Fame…Martinez was born in Manoguayabo, a suburb of the Dominican capital city of Santo Domingo…Juan Marichal, originally from Laguna Verde, located in the heart of the Dominican Republic, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1983…There are now 11 Latin American natives who are Hall of Fame members, representing five countries: Cuba (Martin Dihigo, Jose Mendez, Tony Perez, Cristobal Torriente), Puerto Rico (Roberto Alomar, Orlando Cepeda, Roberto Clemente), Panama (Rod Carew), Venezuela (Luis Aparico) and the Dominican Republic (Marichal, Martinez).

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.
