SCOTT ROLEN ELECTED TO IBWAA HALL OF FAME

The Internet Baseball Writers Association of America (IBWAA) announced one new inductee to its Hall of Fame this year: Scott Rolen. This is the IBWAA’s 14th annual election for these awards. All IBWAA members were eligible to vote.


Rolen was named on 88 out of the 116 ballots cast (76%). Seven other players exceeded 50%, led by Todd Helton with 71%. A 75% threshold is required for election. Complete voting results are listed below.

Voting for full-season awards takes place in September of each year, with selections announced in November. The IBWAA holds a Hall of Fame election in December of each year, with results announced the following January. Additionally, IBWAA members participate in preseason predictions and All-Star Game elections.

Once Rolen gets in through the BBWAA, into the HOF in Cooperstown, I hope that paves the way for Graig Nettles the next time the veterans committee for his era votes.

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post

The Least Among Them.png

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

​

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
