How it works

1. Anyone can nominate a player by posting the player's name in the nomination section by replying to the "Nominations here" comment.

2. One vote per person.

3. Votes are generally done by rec'ing the player's name in the nomination section. The exception is when you vote for a player that you nominated. In that case, you cannot rec your own comment so you should reply to your nomination to say that you are voting for that player.

4. Keep the discussion out of the nomination section to make it easier for people to find the names they are looking for. Just don't reply to the "Nominations here" comment or its children. There'll be a "discuss below" comment to make this clearer.

5. Eligibility issues, such as how we treat MLB rookies, are up to the community and how the community chooses to nominate and vote.

Generally I will post these on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule with voting open from one post time to the next. This may deviate based on availability and/or a landslide vote.

Vote for #17 below.
