        I don't know about this. A player with a 15-year career becomes eligible 20 years after his first game. You're excluding voters who saw half his career, while admitting voters who saw just a third of his career.

        For a 20-year career, you're excluding voters who saw 3/4 of his career, while admitting voters who saw just a quarter of his career.

        For a 20-year career who has been on the ballot for 5 years, you're excluding voters who saw all of his career, while admitting voters who saw none of his career.

          What percentage of a player's career is a voter actually "watching" though. Unless you happen to be the beat writer of the team that player played for, anything you actually see of him is anecdotal at best.

            But part of it is having a good understanding of the game itself during those 20 years, the candidate's contemporaries and where the candidate stood relative to them.
            That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

              Fan falls over the railing in the 7th during the Yankees / Braves game. Game continues as EMT's worked on person before transporting them to local hospital. Area was caution taped off (from what I saw on Twitter). http://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/819052 Game continued with no stoppage in play.



              When will they extend the netting to the upper deck to protect drunks from falling?

                  Didn't see any report that the guy was drunk -- he was reported as 60 years old, which makes it slightly less likely. On the other hand, it's even more frightening if he wasn't drunk. That means the stadium isn't even safe for sober folks.

                    I assumed, since it happened when Alex Rodriguez was being announced as a pinch hitter, that the fan was drunk and trying to boo A-Rod.

                    http://deadspin.com/braves-fan-dies-...eck-1727545306

                    The fatal fall was about 85 feet. According to a witness, Murrey fell from the second row and was, “acting belligerently drunk all game.” When Rodriguez came to the plate, he arose suddenly to yell something and then slipped and fell over the guardrail.
                    And my hunch may have been right.

                    This is the third death at Turner Field in it's short 20 year existence. They can't move to Sun Trust Park soon enough, eh?

                                No-no for Arrieta.

                                Dodgers are the first team to be no hit twice in a 9 day span since 1923.
