He's deserving and should eventually gain that recognition. Hopefully Mussina will have a better showing next year, if not the next year, once the ballot thins out a little more. Their reasonings will likely vary, but it seems like there probably won't be one among the bunch that justifies leaving him off. Sixteen voters, including Ken Gurnick, failed to cast a vote for Maddux. Edgar Martinez, Curt Schilling, and Lee Smith all experienced significant drops in vote totals from last year. That problem won't get any better for them next year when Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, John Smoltz, and Gary Sheffield all appear on the ballot for the first time. Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, and Morris each lost ground over last year's numbers in a crowded class of potential inductees. Rafael Palmeiro, despite having 3000 hits and 500 home runs to his name, did not receive the mandatory 5% of the vote in order to stay on the ballot. Don Mattingly stays on the ballot for 2015 after receiving 8.2% of the vote. In 2013, after spending seven seasons with the Eagles, he became the first. He previously played in MLB for the Los Angeles Dodgers and in the KBO League for the Hanwha Eagles.

Former Yankee Mike Mussina recieved 20.3% of the vote. Hyun-jin Ryu (Korean: Hanja: Korean pronunciation: u.çndin born March 25, 1987) is a South Korean professional baseball pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB). Maddux received 97.2%, Glavine 91.9%, and Thomas 83.7% to fall above the 75% threshold. Jack Morris failed to get enough of the vote in his final year on the ballot, and will now have his Hall of Fame fate left up to the Veterans Committee.
Craig Biggio comes up painfully close with 74.8% of the vote, falling two votes short of induction. The BBWAA will induct three players to the Hall of Fame this year with Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and Frank Thomas all gaining entrance.
