It's time for another 1960s Blog Hall of Fame Election.
Last year
Billy Williams was the lone inductee, joining the other 28 members in the Hall. One player received less than 15% of the vote and was dropped from the ballot, leaving 6 returning candidates this time:
Jim Bunning
Rod Carew
Curt Flood
Ferguson Jenkins
Roger Maris
Denny McLain
Added to the ballot this time are:
Tom Seaver (12-time All-Star, 3 Cy Youngs, 1967 ROY, won 25 in 1969)
Earl Battey (4-time All-Star, 3-time GG in 8 seasons (7 as starter)
Here is the voting history for all the current candidates:

I wasn't sure if Tom Seaver should be considered a "1960s player" since only 3 of his 20 seasons were in the decade. But, he single-handedly pulled the Mets into respectability upon his arrival (and there's that whole 1969 thing), so you folks decide.
Jim Bunning, Roger Maris.
