I wonder if Edgar Martinez will ever get enough votes being as he was a DH for the majority of his career. He only got like 36% this year...14 more tries.

To the best of my knowledge no DH have ever been elected into the Hall of Fame. I loved Edgar but I do not think he was the caliber player you need to be the first DH ever elected.
