Reply to "MSABC - Nomination Process -"

Scout:

The selections have not been published on the MSABC website. Unfortunately, some names on Bear's list are likely to be different from those who were actually chosen to the 30 man team.

I understand there was an internet/fax/write-in vote among the membership which provided the first half of the team by number of votes received, with each of those players receiving a minimum of 14 votes (there were nine who received 20 or more votes).

Then there is discussion among the coaches at the meeting about the candidates remaining for 15-18 spots on the roster. Some glaring oversights that were left off the original ballot were also voted to the team at the meeting, and apparently several rounds of additional voting went on in order to complete the roster.

There will certainly be some deserving players who were not included, but the MSABC coaches are doing a good job of promoting baseball in the MD and I'm sure next year will be even better.

Finally, it seems the honor has more intrinsic value to a deserving jr. who hasn't settled on a college yet. Shame on any coach of a deserving player, particularly a jr., who wasn't there to support your player.
