Will Bert Blyleven be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009?
Current forecast: 25% chance 
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 25% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)
Blyleven is often considered to be the best eligible pitcher not yet in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Blyleven has 287 wins and is fifth all time with 3,701 strikeouts (He is the only retired member of the 3000 strikeout club not in the Hall of Fame). But so far those numbers haven't gotten Blyleven elected to the Hall of Fame.

In this, his 12th year on the ballot, will Blyleven get enough votes to become part of the Class of 2009?
Last year Bert Blyleven got 61.9% of the votes.
The Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) votes annually for the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and 75% is required for induction.
