Talk:Salón de la Fama

From BR Bullpen

The election process now is similar to that in Japan or in the US. I have no idea why it was so scattershot in the early years. Maybe it was conceived as a 1-time thing then a second group was added later and then finally it was decided to make it an annual vote? - --Mischa 07:23, 18 Jun 2006 (EDT)

Does anyone know the election process and why there were no elections for 25 years? --MichaelEng 20:23, 17 Jun 2006 (EDT)

May be of interest to someone:

recently deceased Jesus Manuel Ruiz Venzor, 72, who passed away in Chihuahua, Mexico on May 8, 2006. The death of Sr. Ruiz Venzor is "a significant loss to Mexican amateur baseball as well as to Mexican Hall of Fame where he was part of the election committee, a broadcaster for more than 4 decades, and an icon who taught and developed newer generations in the game. He was more than that, through his family ties with former baseball great Ted Williams, who had his roots in this land through his grandmother mother Catarina Venzor, who left Chihuahua and migrated to California where her daughter May Venzor married Samuel Williams.=20 =20 In working with eight other SABR members on the recent book THE KID: TED WILLIAMS IN SAN DIEGO, I contacted Carlos, seeking more information about Ted's Mexican roots. Carlos was glad for the opportunity to talk more with this longtime supporter of Mexican baseball and writes, "I remember Mr. Ruiz Venzor telling me family stories about Ted`s childhood. He told me, 'His uncle was an exceptional amateur player in Santa Barbara, California and then little boy Ted always joined him playing catch and starting to fell in love with the game.'"

Carlos Fragoso adds: "Mr Ruiz was honored before his burial ceremony, in the Chihuahua city baseball park from all those who admired him as a person, sportscaster, but I guess not many people realized that he had in his bloodlines, baseball history and heritage to one of the greatest ever, Ted Williams."
