\"\"<\/a>All eyes turned towards Cooperstown yesterday, as the votes were\u00a0tallied and four new members were announced as the Hall of Fame class of 2018: Chipper Jones, Vladimir Guerrero, Jim Thome, and Trevor Hoffman.\u00a0 Jones, in his first year of eligibility, garnered 97.2% of the vote, the 11th highest percentage of all time.\u00a0 Guerrero rose to 92.9% in just his second year on the ballot.\u00a0 Thome, also in his first year of eligibility, found himself on 89.8%of the ballots.\u00a0 Hoffman snared 79.9% of the vote in his third year on the ballot.<\/p>\n

Five others tallied greater than 50% of the vote, led by Edgar Martinez, who fell just short at 70.4%.\u00a0 If history is any indication, he will be inducted next year, his final on the ballot.\u00a0 Mike Mussina saw a large increase, moving up over 10 percentage points to 63.5%.\u00a0 Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds remain in the mid 50s, while Curt Schilling just squeaks in at 51.2%.<\/p>\n

Jamie Moyer and Johan Santana led the list of 14 players who failed to get 5% and will drop off the ballot, which includes local stars Kerry Wood, Carlos Lee, and Carlos Zambrano.<\/p>\n

As for the newest Hall of Famers, I\u2019ve seen Thome play 139 times, the most of any Hall of Famer.\u00a0 I only saw Guerrero play 22 times over the course of his career, followed by 12 career games for Jones, and a mere 4 appearances from Hoffman.<\/p>\n

Chipper Jones\u2019s numbers in games I\u2019ve attended were:<\/p>\n
