That lone writer's voter will bring that "secret identity" till his deathbed.. haha.

What do you think is the reason he/she didn't vote for Ichiro to be in the Hall @BigJay?

For many years there was an “old adage” between the good old boy network of baseball writers and voters that no one deserves 100 percent

I believe it was Mo Rivera who finally broke through and got 100 percent first ballot.

If a reliever got it Ichiro sure as hell should have

The guy who didn't pick him is running scared. The blowback would be big and he knows it.

They should make this stuff public. If you can't back your vote (or non-vote) for someone, you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

I see. As long as it's not personal.

I mean.. it really doesn't matter who votes or doesn't as long as you "get in".

The first player recently I can remember a big uproar for not getting 100 percent was Griffey Jr.

Everyone was thinking he’d get 100 percent for sure

Even Jeter was one vote shy of unanimous, which is pretty ridiculous

Wow. I don't remember Jr. missing it by 3 but yes, that is a travesty.
WTH are these people thinking.
