Today, the 2015 HOF ballot was mailed out to voters and it looks like it's going to be a large, by Cooperstown standards, induction class once again.

Notable first time candidates Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz, and Gary Sheffield all have great cases with some already saying the Big Unit might break Tom Seaver's record for highest vote percentage, although I thought Maddux would've done that last year.

This will be the final year on the BBWAA ballot for Mattingly, Trammell, and Lee Smith because of the new rule limiting players to 10 years on the ballot instead of 15.  Think any of these players will get a surge in votes because of the new rule?
