Hall of Fame voting results in arguments every year, and, for the eighth year in a row, the crowd is loud about Andruw Jones.
The former Atlanta Braves outfielder received his highest vote percentage Monday, but he did not join Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner as soon-to-be inductees.
Jones has made up a lot of ground.
He received just 7.3% of the vote in his first year on the ballot, but came in at 66.2% this week. Players need 75% to be elected.

Jones, a slugger at the plate with 434 home runs, is considered one of the greatest defensive outfielders of all time. He won 10 consecutive Gold Glove Awards from 1998 to 2007, winning at least two in all three outfield positions, while hitting .254 with an .823 OPS in his career.
He has an argument, but one of his former teammates, Chipper Jones, who got a plaque in Cooperstown in 2018, said there shouldn't even be a discussion.
