Dissecting The 2009 Hall Of Fame Vote

Another year, another Hall of Fame vote.

Two weeks ago in this space I tried to predict how the Hall of Fame vote would go. On the one hand, I did a heckuva job. I successfully predicted Rickey Henderson and Jim Rice would go in, named the top seven vote recipients in order, and correctly figured that Henderson would be the only new candidate to receive more than 5 percent of the vote. I tried to guess the exact vote percentage for 15 different candidates and had an average error of 3.1 percent, besting the forecasting by anyone else (that I know of, anyway).
