Interestingly enough, I actually fought for Dawson to make the Hall in a class project at Quinnipiac. I guess my case was pretty convincing.
I'm quite surprised Blyleven and Alomar missed out. I didn't see Blyleven pitch, but I saw Alomar and I always thought he was a Hall of Famer. Yankee notables who missed out are Don Mattingly, of course, and Tim Raines. Here are the full results (via LoHud):
