Jeff Bagwell is excited about possibly getting elected to the Hall of Fame this season:
“I just want to get it over with,” Bagwell said of the Jan. 18 announcement. “This is the first year I’ve kind of been keeping track of it and just kind of looking. I’m excited about it.”
Speaking Wednesday night before an appearance on the Astros’ offseason radio show, Astroline, at Pluckers Wing Bar (1400 Shepherd Dr.), Bagwell said he has paid attention to the ballots that have been made public “a little bit lately” but more so learns about them second hand.
Friends keep texting him the HOF tracker results, which currently have Bagwell at 92% with 167 ballots in.
One thing that is a little sad is that Jorge Posada may not survive his first ballot. He’s under 5% so far, so he needs to be more popular on the private ballots. I do understand this. If I were to rank the players on this ballot Posada would be at or near the bottom. He was an excellent catcher on great teams, but that’s not going to be enough to keep him around.
