Jon Heyman Calls To Scrap Hall Of Fame’s 5% Rule After Latest Cuts

Heyman urged BBWAA to ditch the 5% Hall of Fame cutoff: “The 5 percent rule should be done away with.” He said it “makes no sense” that CFs Edmonds, Williams and Lofton get bounced. This year’s sub-5% exits include Braun, Encarnación, Kemp and Gordon. Ramírez also drops off after 10 ballots, leaving his case closed for now.
