[The votes have been counted and the winners are...]

(1) Hoyt Wilhelm: Father of the Knuckleball becomes the first reliever
      win induction.

(2) Lou Brock:  3,000 hits and his doomed career record for steals
      made Brock the 15th man to enter the Hall of Fame the first
      year he was eligable.

Just missing was Nelson "Nellie" Fox, who recieved 295 of the 297
needed for election this year.  It was the closest election since
Ralph Kiner won election by 1 vote in his last year of eligibility
(1975).  This was Fox's last year, too, and he is now the property of
the Oldtimer's committee.
