This is the final call for ballots for the third net Hall of Fame vote.
Please read the voting rules below and submit to me your ballot by Friday,
August 21.

If you have already voted and did not receive a mail message from me
acknowledging receipt of your ballot, check the voter list appended
to the end of this message to make sure you are on it.

The Net Baseball Hall of Fame currently consists of:

			PLAYERS

Hank Aaron (2)		Ty Cobb (2)		Lou Gehrig (2)
Walter Johnson (2)	Mickey Mantle (2)	Willie Mays (2)
Babe Ruth (1)		Honus Wagner (2)	Ted Williams (1)

			OTHERS

			None

The number in parentheses is the election in which the player was
chosen.

All other retired players are eligible for election.  The rules
are basically the same as last time, except for some slight
exceptions.  The cutoff for election for players is 50%.  Once
25 players are in, the percentage required for election will begin
to increase until 50 are in, where it will be held at 75% forever
after.  For non-players, the cutoff is 50% until 10 are in.  From
there it will begin to increase until 20 are in, where it will be
held at 75% forever after.

Voting Rules:

* At regular intervals, this message will be posted calling for
  ballots.  At this time, net readers may e-mail to me two lists,
  as follows:
  
  (1) A list of anywhere from 0 to 10 players they believe worthy of
      our Hall of Fame.
  (2) A list of anywhere from 0 to 4 names of other important figures
      in the history of the game.

  Note: These are considered two separate votes, but please e-mail
  them in the same message.  If you wish to vote in only one of the
  two categories, this is acceptable.

  My e-mail address is:

		rbd@thor.ece.uc.edu

  I will try to send a response to every voter acknowledging ballot
  receipt, but if my mailer can't contact yours, sorry.  If you want
  to post your ballot to r.s.bb to start arguments, go ahead; however,
  only ballots e-mailed directly to me will count in the voting.

* The voters are urged to vote responsibly for the players not
  currently in our Hall who they consider the "Greatest"
  players.  Admittedly, great is a subjective term, and since it
  is a Hall of Fame and Eddie Gaedel is famous, well... suffice
  to say that I personally will vote for Jimmie Foxx before I
  will vote for Eddie Gaedel.  It is my hope that you will be
  objective.  If you wish to vote for one or two personal
  favorites, fine.  But please don't send a ballot consisting
  entirely of ten players from one team, for example.  All
  ballots will be accepted, as I don't want to judge ballots
  as "fraudulent" or not.  But try to be reasonable!

* Please submit your ballot in alphabetical order - it makes my job
  easier.

* At least 25 voters must submit ballots in order for election
  results to stand.

* The deadline for this election is August 21, 1992.
