And that's it for this year...
Dawson received 420 of 539 votes in voting announced by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. That was 15 votes over the 75 percent necessary to gain election.
The eight-time All-Star, appearing on the ballot for the ninth time, was 44 votes short last year.
Bert Blyleven had 400 votes, up from 338 last year, and will likely get in because he has two more tries on the BBWAA ballot. The HQ is still trying to figure out, for the life of us, why he hasn't gotten in yet.
Roberto Alomar received 397 votes in his first appearance and was followed by Jack Morris with 282.
More when we know more...
Until then, however, here's the best way we could find to remember the Hawk in his playing days... a really cheesy, Kuppenheimer Clothiers commercial...
