Interesting. who was adjacent to him on the ballot? Someone with 1 vote?
Big changes going forward. I have a feeling that this is due to the steroid guys now being committee fixtures

Beginning with the Contemporary Baseball Era ballot for players, which will be reviewed in December 2025, any candidate who appears on a ballot and does not receive votes from at least five of the 16 voters will not be eligible to be placed on the ballot within its next three-year cycle. Any such candidates would remain eligible to return to an Era Committee ballot in the following election cycle.
Additionally, beginning in 2025, any candidate that does not receive at least five of 16 votes in multiple appearances on Era Committee ballots will not be eligible for future ballot consideration.
Candidates who receive at least five of 16 votes will remain eligible for the following cycle of Era Committee consideration but will not necessarily be placed on the subsequent ballot. The makeup of the ballot is reconstructed each year based on all eligible candidates by the Historical Overview Committee. Members of the Historical Overview Committee are appointed by the Baseball Writers' ashociation of America and approved by the Hall of Fame's Board of Directors.
The Era Committee process is divided into three groups, rotating on an annual basis, with each ballot consisting of eight candidates. The three groups cover two timeframes: the Contemporary Baseball Era, consisting of the period from 1980 to present day, and the Clashic Baseball Era, consisting of the period prior to 1980. The Contemporary Baseball Era is split into two separate ballots – one ballot to consider only players who made their greatest impact on the game since 1980, and another composite ballot consisting of managers, executives and umpires whose greatest contributions to the game have come since 1980. Ballots are considered each December at the Baseball Winter Meetings.
Upcoming Era Committee election cycles feature the Contemporary Baseball Era players ballot in the fall of 2025, the Contemporary Baseball Era managers, executives and umpires ballot in the fall of 2026 and the Clashic Baseball Era in the fall of 2027. The three-year cycle then repeats.
