Will Clark appeared on 23 Hall of Fame ballots (4.4%), just 3 votes shy of the 26 (5%) needed to remain on the ballot.
Congratulations to Bruce Sutter on his election to the Hall of Fame. Its about damn time.

I've made my case for why I believe Will Clark should be elected to the Hall of Fame, so the only thing left for me to do is to provide some more links to some really smart people who also believe that Clark belongs in Cooperstown.
The results of Baseball Think Factory's Hall of Fame Ballot can be found here. Clark appeared on 49 out of 102 ballots. Among BTF's Hall of Merit voters, Clark appeared on 25 out of the 36 ballots. Nice work, Primates! The balloting and some discussion can be found here.
For the record, here's how I voted:
* My Ballot (in no particular order):
Bert Blyleven
Will Clark
Rich Gossage
Bruce Sutter
Alan Trammell
* Not on My Ballot, but I Could Probably Be Convinced They Belong
Albert Belle
Don Mattingly
* Hall of Very Good
Andre Dawson
Tommy John
Jim Rice
Dale Murphy
Dave Parker
Jack Morris
Lee Smith
* Serra High School Hall of Fame
Gregg Jefferies
* Wait, Didn't He Pitch for the Royals Last Year?
Alex Fernandez
I'm hopeful that Clark will achieve the 5% of the vote necessary to reamin on the ballot next year. The results of the balloting will be announced tomorrow at 11:00 AM Pacific.

The official propaganda minister of sfgiants.com, Rich Draper, has revealed his votes for the Hall of Fame.
Draper votes for Will Clark, Willie McGee (former Giant), Lee Smith (current Giants minor league coach) and Rich Gossage (former Giant) among others.
Kudos to Repoz of Baseball Think Factory for the link and for providing a running tabulation (scroll down to post #3) of the ballots made public to date.
