Jeff Cirillo, a popular and productive Major Leaguer for 14 years, is second in Milwaukee Brewers franchise history with a .307 batting average, trailing only Ryan Braun’s career mark of .313.

Yet Cirillo, in his first year of eligibility, fell short of gaining enshrinement into the Baseball Hall of Fame. And by short, we mean way short. As in, he didn’t receive a vote, and like 15 others on the ballot this year, did not get enough support from the Baseball Writers of Association of America to remain on the ballot in 2014.
