Congratulations to ex-Padre Rich "Goose" Gossage on being voted into the baseball Hall of Fame. Better late than never, eh?
On another note, three of the following five pitchers are in the Hall of Fame. One is still on the ballot, while the fifth has been dropped from consideration. Can you tell which is which just by looking at the numbers? (Answer below the table.)

I dunno, I'm not seeing a lot of separation here. Good thing the "experts" can ferret out things that aren't readily apparent to the rest of us.
Who's who? #1, Rollie Fingers (in); #2, Gossage (in); #3, Jeff Reardon (out); #4, Lee Smith (waiting); #5, Bruce ...
