The nominees for the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame Class of 2016 are:
- Christopher Carpenter
- Keith Hernandez
- Jason Isringhausen
- Mark McGwire
- Matthew Morris
- Edgar Renteria
- Scott Rolen
- Joe Torre
In total 4 men will be inducted into the HOF for 2016.
Here’s how the voting process works:
1) 2 of the 8 from the list above will be voted on by the fans in an open vote. The voting period starts in MAR and will last about 6 weeks.
2) The 3rd member will be selected from the list above by the Cardinals ownership group. This is basically a safety net in case fans of the Yankees or Mets flood the ballot box on behalf of Joe Torre/Keith Hernandez and they both end up winning. (And yes, I know how good they both were for the Cardinals. Yet the majority of baseball fans identify them with the NYC teams…)
3) A 4th member will be selected from a group of players that were active 40 years ago or more. You might know this person. You probably never saw him play.
Why wait until MAR, though? Who are your two?
