Veteran's Committee Approved Hall of Fame Ballot for Season 30

In order to streamline our Hall of Fame voting and help to ensure that the maximum amount of worthy candidates are inducted, I conducted a poll of our long standing owners with 20 or more seasons in the league (13 of us).  They were asked to say whether or not a list 30 top players from the list of Hall nominees were Hall worthy or not.  The intent was to both pare down future lists of folks to consider for Hall induction and to determine this season's 5 top nominees. The top 5 vote getters (who appear on the official ballot) will be are official list for this season. Anyone not getting over 50% of the committee vote will be dropped from consideration for future Hall discussions. Here are the results of that vote (9 people participated):

Hall Worthy
9 - Vic Gonzales, Javier Gonzalez, Kent Crawford
7 - Brandon Sutton, James Hunter, Enrique Cordero
6 - Bernard Springer, Hiram Abbott, Placido Santana
5 - Virgil Manning

Dropped from Future Consideration
4 - Alan Long, Howard Sweeney
3 - Bruce Lewis, Juan Miro, Armando Taveras
2 - Bing Miles, Javier Valdes, Alfonso Trajano, Kordell Becker, Ryuu Choi, Wes Roosevelt
1 - Clyde Redmond, Pascual Martin, Alejandro Vazquez, Carson Graves, Donatello Bollea, Todd O'Sullivan, Victor Lima
0 - Cliff Rivers, Enrique Gonzales

For this years ballot, we had two folks at the top, Crawford and Cordero, who were not nominated and so cannot be official candidates this season.  So besides Gonzales, Gonzalez, Sutton, and Hunter, one person needed to be chosen from those with 6 votes to be our 5th selection.  The results of the run-off election were as follows (7 voters):
3 - Springer
2 - Abbott, Santana
