tom seaver
Seaver is correct, but "votes" is not the factor because more votes are added every year with previos winners being able to vote.
"Percentage" is what they go by and if your in weak year, like Seaver was. That can help you, cause voters will always vote 1 in at least, most likely. Seaver leads with 98.8. Cobb held the record at 98.2 till Seaver. Since then Ryan received 98.79 and Ripken 98.53. So Cobb has fallen to 4th. Example of your class determining your percentage could not be proven anymore, with Ruth going in with Cobb (1st Class in the HOF) But Ruth should have been the highest ever or at least tied with Cobb. And im a Detroiter. So the highest votes or percentage really don't mean anything. Half of the voters are senile by now anyway!
